It is caused by bovine herpesvirus 1, which has different strains that can cause respiratory disease, genital infections, abortions, or encephalitis. The disease spreads rapidly through nasal and genital secretions or aerosols and can cause pneumonia, conjunctivitis, ulcers, and abortions in cattle.
