Abstract
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), caused by Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BHV-1) is the most economically important disease of cattle. In India, it was first reported by Mehrotra et al. (1976). The disease causes abortion, infertility, encephalitis, conjunctivitis, infectious pustular vulvo-vaginitis / balanoposthitis, respiratory problems and drop in milk production. Renukaradhya et al. (1996) detected 51.6% seropositivity to IBR from cattle in three Southern states of India. The present study describes the prevalence of IBR in cattle.
