Abstract
in English, French

Numerous abortions were reported on a Quebec goat farm, and caprine herpesvirus-1 (CapHV-1) was confirmed by PCR in several tissues from 3 aborted fetuses. This is the first report of CapHV-1 in Canada. Practitioners and diagnosticians must consider this disease when making a differential diagnosis for caprine abortion.

Résumé — Un épisode d’avortements à herpesvirus caprin de type 1 (CapHV-1) dans un élevage de chèvre du Québec. De nombreux avortements ont été signalés dans un élevage caprin du Québec. La présence du herpesvirus caprin de type 1 (capHV-1) a été confirmée par la réaction de polymérase en chaîne (PCR) dans plusieurs tissus de trois avortons. Il s’agit du premier cas de CapHV-1 rapporté au Canada. Les vétérinaires en pratique et dans les laboratoires de diagnostic doivent inclure cette infection dans le diagnostic différentiel des avortements caprins.
