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]
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.[4][5][6] 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.[7]
