Abstract

The bovine embryo transfer is an animal reproduction biotechnique widely diffused in Brazil that has been allowing the production of embryos with high genetic potential. Considering the technique diffusion and the high number of produced and distributed embryos, in the sanitary aspect its use in wide scale can contribute with risks of infectious diseases dissemination. Bovine herpesvirus 1 and bovine viral diarrhea virus, respectively, the etiological agents of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and bovine viral diarrhea are two potential viruses able to infect embryos through donator females and/or biological materials related to the technique.
