Popis: Bovine herpes virus type 4 (BoHV-4) can be transmitted by contaminated semen to cows at the time of breeding and may cause uterine disease. The aim of this study was to characterize the susceptibility of bovine endometrial epithelial cells (bEEC) to BoHV-4 by using an in vitro model. When bEEC were challenged with different multiplicity of infection (MOI; from 0.001 to 10) of BoHV-4 for 6days, a significant decrease in cell survival with increasing MOI was observed. The bEEC were subsequently challenged with BoHV-4 MOI 0.1 for 7days. During the first 4days, numbers increased in a similar way in controls and infected group (p
