Bovine herpesvirus, also known as bovine herpes, is a common infectious disease affecting cattle worldwide. This viral infection primarily targets the respiratory and reproductive systems of cattle, causing various symptoms like fever, nasal discharge, abortion, and reduced fertility. Several synonymous terms can be used to describe this condition, including infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV), and infectious pustular balanoposthitis (IPB). These terms reflect the distinct clinical manifestations of the virus in different parts of the body. Understanding these synonyms helps veterinarians and farmers discuss the disease accurately, aiding in prompt diagnosis, control, and prevention strategies to minimize its impact on bovine health and productivity.
