Item Aspectos sobre Rinotraqueítis Infecciosa Bovina(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2014-10-22) Duque, Daniel; Ramón Estévez, Josué N; Abreu Vélez, Adrián Manuel; Moncada Velásquez, Marcela; Durango, Juan Carlos; Molina Palacios, DanielThe infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a contagious disease that affects bovines. It is essentially characterized by the presence of an exudative rhinotracheitis that can affect large bronchi of infected animals. Although the abortion is just a sequel of the respiratory disturbance, there are reports of viral groups with some abortive potential that can cause abortion outbreaks. In lactating cows, it causes milk production decrease and infertility. In Colombia there had been reported important data of serum-prevalence in the Caribbean, Andine and Pie de Monte Llanero regions, with important epidemiologic and economic impact. Here is presented a review about infectious bovine rhinotracheitis caused by herpesvirus, highlighting aspects of biologic properties of the virus, pathogenesis and clinical signs of the different ways of presentation of the disease.
