Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a respiratory disease of cattle caused by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1).
Cause. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a highly contagious, infectious respiratory disease that is caused by Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1). It can affect young and older cattle. In addition to causing respiratory disease, this virus can cause conjunctivitis, abortions, encephalitis, and generalised systemic infections. IBR is characterised by acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. After the first infection, the virus is never fully removed. It stays behind in nerve cells in the brain as a life-long latent (hidden) infection. steers in a feedlot fed on a finely chopped ration develop a syndrome of cough, nasal and ocular discharge but without signs of fever or toxemia. feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR). an acute upper respiratory infection of cats, caused by feline herpesvirus. Sneezing, coughing, ocular and nasal discharges, and often chemosis, keratitis and corneal ulceration are the main signs. Occasionally there is fatal pneumonia or generalized infection in young kittens.  infectious pancreatic necrosis of fish. a disease of salmonids caused by a group of related birnaviruses. It is characterized by hemorrhages and anemia, and spiral swimming and abdominal distention in fry. infectious porcine dermatitis. see contagious porcine pyoderma. a septicemic disease of young ducks caused by Riemerella anatipestifer and characterized by torticollis, head tremor, loss of balance and a high mortality rate. infectious sinusitis. a contagious disease of turkeys caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. caused by a picornavirus this disease of young chickens causes a transient unremarkable disease with lesions appearing in the kidney. infectious bovine cervicovaginitis. thought to be due to a herpesvirus-4 infection, transmitted by coitus, causing sterility in a high percentage of cows and some bulls. a septicemic disease of young ducks caused by Riemerella anatipestifer and characterized by torticollis, head tremor, loss of balance and a high mortality rate. infectious sinusitis. a contagious disease of turkeys caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. a highly infectious disease of birds of all ages caused by avian herpesvirus 1 and characterized by a very rapid spread of respiratory distress, the signs including gasping, respiratory gurgling and rattling, and death often from asphyxiation because of massive pseudomembrane formation in the trachea. a septicemic disease of young ducks caused by Riemerella anatipestifer and characterized by torticollis, head tremor, loss of balance and a high mortality rate. infectious sinusitis. a contagious disease of turkeys caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) in cattle. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a respiratory disease of cattle caused by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). Disease outbreaks can result in severe production losses, abortion and mortality. IBR is characterized by acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. BoHV-1 infection can also cause reproductive symptoms in cattle. See Clinical Signs. IBR. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (commonly called IBR or red nose) is an acute, contagious virus disease of cattle. Often implicated as an infection which initiates the shipping fever complex. This infection usually occurs in the air passages of the head and the wind pipe.  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is a virus of the family Herpesviridae and the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, known to cause several diseases worldwide in cattle, including rhinotracheitis, vaginitis, balanoposthitis, abortion, conjunctivitis, and enteritis. Although these symptoms are mainly non-life-threatening it is an economically important disease as infection may cause a drop in production and affect trade restrictions. Like other herpesviruses, BoHV-1 causes a lifelong latent infection and sporadic shedding of the virus. a highly infectious disease of cattle, particularly when crowded together as in feedlots, caused by bovine herpesvirus 1 and characterized by nasal discharge, rhinitis, tracheitis, conjunctivitis, fever and a short course unless complicated by other infections, particularly those leading to pneumonia. a septicemic disease of young ducks caused by Riemerella anatipestifer and characterized by torticollis, head tremor, loss of balance and a high mortality rate. infectious sinusitis. a contagious disease of turkeys caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. infectious. adj. 1. (Medicine) (of a disease) capable of being transmitted. Compare contagious. 2. (Pathology) (of a disease) caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or protozoa. 3. (Medicine) causing or transmitting infection. 4. tending or apt to spread, as from one person to another: infectious mirth. 5
