These data were then related to the seropositive status of the animals against alpha-herpesviruses, precisely Bubaline herpesvirus 1 (BuHV-1) and Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). Clinically healthy Mediterranean buffaloes were selected for this study. The serum samples of these animals were taken, and d-ROMs, anti-ROM and Osi were measured using commercially available tests. The preliminary data demonstrated that animals seropositive to both BuHV-1 and BoHV-1 present more oxidative stress than seronegative animals, as revealed by a significant increase in d-ROMs. Our results provide, for the first time, insight into the reac- tive oxygen species (ROS) modulation induced by the herpesvirus in Bubalus bubalis.}, type={Short Communications}, title={Reactive oxygen metabolitesin alpha-herpesvirus-seropositive Mediterranean buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis): a preliminary study}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/108454/PDF/29.pdf}, doi={10.24425/124300}, keywords={Bubalus bubalis, Bubaline herpesvirus 1 (BuHV-1), Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM), oxidative stress index (Osi)}, }
