Abstract
Sera from healthy goats were collected during October 1979 through October 1980. These sera were tested for bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus, bovine adenoviruses (BAV) -3 and -7, and goat respiratory syncytial virus (GRSV) antibodies by microtitration virus-neutralization test. The number of herds with seropositive goats for each virus were: 5/38 (13.2%) for BHV-1; 9/38 (23.7%) for BVDV; 8/38 (21.1%) for PI-3 virus; 1/38 (2.6%) for BAV-3; 15/38 (39.5%) for BAV-7; and 26/34 (76.5%) for GRSV. Seropositive rates for each virus for the individual goats tested were: 6/502 (1.2%) for BHV-1; 9/498 (1.8%) for BVDV; 49/458 (10.75) for PI-3 virus; 1/487 (0.025) for BAV-3; 40/448 (8.9%) for BAV-7; and 166/332 (50.0%) for GRSV.
