Disclosed and claimed is a recombinant canine herepes virus (CHV). The recombinant CHV includes and expresses at least one heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding an antigen. The antigen can be canine distemper virus HA, canine distemper virus F, rabies virus G, canine parvovirus VP2, parainfluenza virus type 2 HA, parainfluenza virus type 2 F, Borrelia burgdorferi OspA, or Borrelia burgdorferi OspB. The at least one heterologous nucleotide sequence can be in at least one insertion site selected from the group consisting of ORF3 (SEQ ID NO:4), ORF5 (SEQ ID NO:5), the thymidine kinase gene, and the intergenic region corresponding to genes coding for the large subunit and the small subunit. Immunological or vaccine compositions as well as methods for inducing an immunological response are also disclosed and claimed.
