La mammillite herpétique bovine au Québec
Abstract:
BOVINE HERPETIC MAMMILLITIS IN QUEBEC: Bovine herpetic mammillitis is reported for the first time in Canada. It is a vesicular and ulcerative skin disease affecting the udder and teats of cows. It is caused by the bovine herpesvirus 2. The principal lesions consist of crusts that are found on the teats and may become complicated by secundary bacterial infection.Specimens collected from the lesions were used to differentiate the condition from pseudo-cowpox by serological tests, virus isolation and electron microscopy. Bovine herpetic mammillitis causes painful and therefore difficult milking which is followed by mastitis and an increased rate of culling.
