TL;DR
This paper reports the genome sequence of a bovine herpesvirus 5 isolate from India, which was found in an aborted cattle case and is the first such report from the region.
Contribution
The study provides the first genome sequence of BoHV-5 from India and explores its phylogenetic relationships.
Findings
The BoHV-5 isolate was linked to an abortion case, which is atypical for the virus.
The isolate is the first BoHV-5 reported from India, expanding its known geographic distribution.
Phylogenetic analysis offers insights into the evolutionary relationships of this BoHV-5 strain.
Abstract
Recently, we identified bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) in a vaginal swab from aborted cattle. It was unusual in two aspects: first, its association with abortion (it is otherwise mainly associated with encephalitis), and second, it is the first report from India (as it is mostly restricted to South American countries). In this study, we conducted the genome sequencing of the BoHV-5 isolate and provided insights into its phylogenetic relationships with other BoHV-5 strains. These findings contribute valuable knowledge toward understanding the epidemiology and evolution of BoHV-5.
