Produced smoke is placed at the front of bullock to cure ephemeral fever. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Disease caused by Bovie ephemeral fever virus of genus Ephemerovirus of family Rhabdoviridae. It having genome of unsegmented, linear, negetive sense RNA. It is bullet shaped virus. |
| Global Context |
Ephemeral fever in livestock animals is spread worldwide. It is very common in young animal than adut animal |
| Lesson Implication |

| Other Medications / Treatments |
In severe cases: 1) Anti-inflammatory drugs: NSAIDs. 2) Fluid therapy and calcium. 3) Broad spectrum antibiotics |
