چکیده
To investigate the susceptibility of early bovine embryos to noncytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus (NCP BVDV), 2- and 4-cell embryos produced in vitro from which zona pellucida had been removed by pronase treatment, and hatched blastocysts were exposed to 10(6) TCID50/m/ of NCP BVDV No. 12 strain. The virus was detected in all embryo samples immediately prior to cultivation but not in the medium. After 24-hr culture, the virus was isolated from four media and two embryo samples in four experiments in the blastocyst group, and the viral antigen was demonstrated in the cytoplasm of the embryo cells by the immunofluorescent technique. By contrast, no virus was recovered from, or viral antigen detected in samples from the 2- and 4-cell embryo group in any of the experiments, even though they were exposed to the virus after removal of the zona pellucida. These findings suggest that 2- and 4-cell embryos are unlikely to be susceptible to NCP BVDV, but that blastocysts are capable of being infected with the virus. hatched blastocyst, noncytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus.

Bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8), which caused an epidemic in ruminants in central Western Europe in 2006 and 2007, seems to differ from other bluetongue serotypes in that it can spread transplacentally and has been associated with an increased incidence of abortion and other reproductive problems. For these reasons, and also because BTV-8 is threatening to spread to other parts of the world...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases of cattle worldwide. It causes continuous economic losses to the cattle industry primarily due to decreased reproductive performance. The ability of virus to cross the placenta during early pregnancy can result in the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves. P...
