Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus with a genome of 135 kb. Some BoHV-1 genes are nonessential and may be deleted from the viral genome. Here, a spontaneous gene deletion was identified in the BoHV-1 strain Cooper. Genes of the US1.67/US2 region were absent, as determined by next-generation sequencing.
