Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen of cattle and it occurs worldwide. The biology of this virus is complex because it is associated with many diverse clinical manifestations, ranging from mild acute infections to fatal mucosal disease. BVDV can infect cattle at all ages including the fetus (1-3). Serological evidence shows that BVDV is a common infectious a...
متن کاملCurrent situation of BVD in Spain: presence of genotype 2
Although the two BVDV species are genetically and antigenically different, they do share certain similarities, such as the fact that, based on their ability to induce changes in in vitro cell cultures, vacuolisation and cell lysis, isolates of this virus fall into two different biotypes (Birk et al., 2008; Neil et al., 2008). The cytopathic biotype (CP) causes changes in the cells that infect t...
متن کاملConsiderations for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Testing
Available diagnostic tests for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and the persistently infected (PI) BVDV carrier state are reviewed and presented in table format. The test of choice will depend on the age of animal being tested, whether the animal is alive or dead and whether the veterinarian is only interested in identifying PI animals or if transiently infected (TI) animals are also of inter...
متن کاملDiarrhoea (BVD) in Eastern Saudi Arabia
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to be conducted on bovine virus diarrhoea (BVD) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study involved the Eastern Region of the Kingdom. Samples were collected from clinically suspected cases which were subjected to clinico-pathological and virological studies. The results indicated that the disease is widespread in the Eastern Province. The ep...
