Abstract
INFECTIOUS bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), first described in the United States as a respiratory disease of feedlot cattle1,2, has been identified in many countries including Tchad3 and South Africa4. Serological evidence suggests that the virus is widespread in the Cameroons, the Central African Republic5 and Nigeria6. There are, however, no published reports of the disease in East Africa.
