Abstract

The presence of antibodies in serum samples of cattle and buffaloes to bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV 1) was evaluated by micro serum neutralization test in nine states spread along North and Central region of India. The serum samples were collected/received from unvaccinated cattle and buffaloes and screened for BHV1 antibodies by micro-SNT, a sensitive and reliable test recommended by OIE and accepted internationally in the trade of livestock. A total of 2198 serum samples (2171 of cattle and 27 of buffaloes) were screened for presence of BHV1 antibodies. A total of 1028 (46.77%) serum samples of cattle and 17 (62.96%) of buffaloes, respectively, were found positive by micro-SNT.
