. Apoptosis is a mechanism of eukariotic cell suicide which plays a major role in many physiological and pathological processes. Many viruses have developed different pathways to induce or inhibit the apoptotic process sufficiently to allow the completion of viral replication. In this report, we show that bovine herpes virus type-1(BVH-1) is able to inhibit the sorbitol-induced apoptosis in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells.
