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...

Network modeling of BVD transmission

Endemic diseases of cattle, such as bovine viral diarrhea, have significant impact on production efficiency of food of animal origin with consequences for animal welfare and climate change reduction targets. Many modeling studies focus on the local scale, examining the on-farm dynamics of this infectious disease. However, insight into prevalence and control across a network of farms ultimately ...

Considerations 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...
