intrapreputial infection of young bulls with bovine herpesvirus type 1.2 (bhv-1.2): acute balanoposthitis, latent infection and detection of viral dna in regional neural and non-neural tissues 50 days after experimental reactivation. | venereal infection of bulls with bovine herpesvirus type 1.2 (bhv-1.2) may result in acute balanoposthitis followed by the establishment of latent infection, presumably in dorsal root nerve ganglia. we herein report the characterization of the acute and latent infection of young bulls with a brazilian bhv-1.2 isolate and the investigation of neural and non-neural sites in which viral dna persists during latent infection, i.e. 110 days after inoculation and 50 days after experimental reactivation ... | 2004 | 15036527 |
