If convalescent samples will not be collected, or when infectious abortion is strongly suspected due to history, immediate testing of acute sample may be warranted.įresh feces in leak-proof sterile container To avoid testing acute samples twice, hold and submit with convalescent samples. If second, convalescent samples are later submitted, tests on both samples will be run in parallel and fees for both samples will be charged.

If acute samples are submitted alone please indicated if all tests should be performed. When acute and convalescent samples are/will be collected, for most serology assays they should always be tested in parallel, and paired results interpreted. Maternal heparin whole blood (green top tube) Maternal EDTA whole blood (lavender top tube) or If indicated, add Virus Isolation ( VI) (ex: Caprine Herpesvirus 1) on fresh tissue: lung, placenta including cotyledons, abomasal contents, kidney, liver, heart, adrenal, skin. If indicated, add Selenium on fetal liver. If indicated, add Border Disease SN ( OBDVSN) to heart blood (serum), peritoneal, pleural or pericardial fluid in sterile red top tube. If placentitis present, add Coxiella burnetii PCR ( COXPCR) to placenta (abomasal contents or lung if placenta not available). Ship fresh tissue chilled and protect fixed tissue from freezing.

No complications attributable to CpHV-1 were identified during kidding in 2006.Ĭlinical Relevance-On the basis of serologic findings, infection with CpHV-1 was not as-sociated with reduced reproductive success in the subsequent breeding.Submit 3 fresh tissue samples: placenta, lung, and stomach contents - labelled in individual containers for 3 aerobic culturesįresh lung if not available, use spleen or heartīovine Virus Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) SN, Type 1įetal heart blood or pleural, pericardial or peritoneal effusion in a red top tubeīovine Virus Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) SN, Type 2 In November 2005, all 241 goats in the herd were tested for antibodies against CpHV-1 to identify goats that had seroconverted during the outbreak. Most of the young wethers born in 2005 were sold however, all of the young does were kept for breeding in fall. Treatment and Outcome-Many does that aborted were rebred for kidding in late sum-mer. A virus that yielded positive results with a fluorescent antibody test for bovine herpesvirus-1 was iso-lated and identified as caprine herpesvirus-1 (CpHV-1) via DNA sequence analysis. Laboratory findings in 4 of 5 aborted fetuses were consistent with herpesvirus abortion. Case Description-An abortion storm occurred in a goat herd, resulting in 75 aborted kids and 1 neonatal death from December 2004 to February 2005.Ĭlinical Findings-Aborted fetuses ranged from being premature to past term.
