We describe current status of abortions
in cattle, due to infections, in Iran. Blood was taken from 135 cattle with a
history of abortion during the year and tested for antibodies to Neospora caninum
(NC), Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis
virus (IBRV), Brucella abortus and Chlamydophila abortus
with commercial diagnostic kits. The infection rate of NC was 33, IBRV 39, BVDV
52, Chlamydophila abortus
16 and Brucella abortus 4.5%. N. caninum, IBR and BVDV should be the focus of effective
control programs.
Keywords:
