Caprine alphaherpesvirus 1 (CpHV-1) is a species of virus known to infect goats worldwide. It has been shown to produce systemic and respiratory symptoms in kids and to cause abortions in adult goats. [1]
The virus is in the genus Varicellovirus, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, family Herpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales. [2]
It is less studied than some of the other ruminant viruses in the genus Varicellovirus including Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), and research conflicts about its level of species specificity and its ability to cause bovine infection and illness. [3] [4] [5] Like many other members of its genus, CpHV-1 has been shown to replicate in the respiratory tract and to cause latent infections. [1] There is not currently a vaccine. [6]
