Abstract
A study of the latency of caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV.1) was carried out wi th four latently infected goats. Three goats were treated with dexamethason e and euthanized after 4 and 6 days. PCR and virus isolation allowed us to detect CpHV.1 only in the third and fourth sacral ganglia of the two animal s euthanized 6 days after the start of treatment.
