Abstract

ABSTRACT Bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is a gammaherpesvirus with no clear disease association. Previous studies have demonstrated that macrophages can harbor persistent BoHV-4. We found that the addition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to bovine macrophage cells persistently infected with BoHV-4 increases viral replication. Because opportunistic infection can increase PGE2 production, we propose a link between opportunistic infection, PGE2 production, and BoHV-4 replication.
