Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) establishes a latent infection in sensory ganglionic neurons of cattle. During a latent infection, a single latency-related (LR) transcript is expressed. This observation suggested that DNA sequences in the LR promoter are positively regulated by neural cell type factors. The regulation of the LR gene was examined in neural cells as well as nonneural cells in transient assays. A 258-bp XbaI-SphI fragment from the LR promoter cis activated the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase promoter in rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells and differentiated human (HCNIA) neurons. In contrast, cis activation was not …

Enterococci in the alimentary tract of animals are believed to be commensal bacteria.3 However, Enterococcus durans has been associated with diarrhea in foals, piglets, and puppies. The possibility that E. durans is associated with diarrhea in calves has not been established, although grampositive cocci adhered to villi, occasionally together with Cryptosporidia, have been seen histologically in the small intestine of diarrheic calves. This report describes the association of E. durans and diarrhea in 4 calves.
