Abstract

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) infects the respiratory and genital tracts of cattle and several species of ruminants. The infection can result in different diseases such as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, infectious pustular vulvovaginitis in females and infectious pustular balanoposthitis in males, with a severe economic impact on livestock production. The infection causes respiratory symptoms, conjunctivitis, abortions, enteritis, and fatal systemic infection in newborn calves. One of the most important characteristics of bovine herpesvirus type 1 is the establishment of a latent infection that can be reactivated under stress conditions or by treatment with high doses of corticosteroids. The present work was aimed at developing an SYBR Green I Based Real-Time RT-PCR assay for the detection of bovine herpesvirus type 1, by amplifying a fragment of the viral thymidine kinase gene. The parameters of the critical components of the PCR reaction as well as the thermodynamic conditions were established. Dissociation curve analysis showed that the amplification curves were specific (Tm = 93°C ± 1°C) and that there were no unspecific amplifications. High levels of specificity, repeatability and sensitivity were obtained, with a detection limit of 100.5 TCID50/mL. Diagnostic sensitivity was assessed on the basis of nasal exudates from experimental breeding animals, reactivation of latent infection and experimental dairy farms. The SYBR Green I Based Real-Time RT-PCR assay proved to be more sensitive for the diagnosis of BoHV-1 than the endpoint PCR assay and virus isolation.
