Copyright policy )First Serbian isolates of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) from a herd with a history of postpartum metritis.
Two farms in the Belgrade area have experienced serious problems with postpartal metritis. Serological examination of BoHV-4 infection was done using ELISA test and vaginal swabs were used for virus isolation. Average seroprevalence of BoHV-4 in these farms was 84.37%. BoHV-4 isolation was successful from three vaginal swabs on the MDBK cell line. Rising values of BoHV-4 antibodies were recorded in nine of ten cows with clinical signs of postpartal metritis. PCR and restriction analysis were used for better characterisation and isolate classification. Two isolates showed similarity with MOVAR 33/63 virus type, but one differed in polyrepetitive and other parts of DNA. This was the first isolation and characterisation of BoHV4 from Serbian herds.
