Article Description

Serologic studies of caprine herpesvirus type 1 infection (CpHV-1) have not been done to date in Mexico. A serological survey was conducted to identify the presence of anti-CpHV antibodies with two widely used blocking ELISA tests for detection of antibodies against bovine herpesvirus type 1 glycoprotein B (gB) and anti-glycoprotein E (gE). Of the 838 tested animals, 123 (14.68 %) were positive with the ELISA test. Anti-CpHV-1 antibodies were detected in samples from the states of Puebla, Morelos, Nuevo Leon, Mexico City, Guanajuato and Queretaro. This is the first report of the presence of antibodies against caprine herpesvirus-1 in Mexico.
