Abstract

Isolation of BoHV-1 was attempted from nasal swabs as well as aborted foetuses and vaginal swabs in Madin Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cell line to find out the prevalent strain in the state of West Bengal, India. The virus was isolated from only one case out of 65 nasal swabs whereas no virus was isolated from aborted foetuses and vaginal swabs. The isolate was typed as BoHV-1.2 (Strain India 3).
