Bovine virus diarrhoea virus: an introduction.
نویسنده
چکیده
In view of the recently established genome organisation of pestiviruses, their classification as members of the togavirus family is no longer tenable. They should rather be provisionally considered as a new genus of the Flaviviridae, irrespective of differences in the nonstructural genes. Like other positive-stranded RNA viruses, pestiviruses are highly variable; apart from point mutations, recombinations are expected to contribute to their capricious behaviour. One trait of expected pathogenetic significance in infections with bovine virus diarrhoea virus is a change from the non-cytopathogenic to a cytopathogenic biotype. Cooperation of both variants in an animal to produce the severe disease picture known as mucosal disease is unique in virology; elucidation of this mechanism may shed light on the pathogenesis of other sporadic diseases with suspected viral origin.

Prevalence of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus antibodies and antigen among the aborted cows in industrial dairy cattle herds in Mashhad area of Iran
The measurement of antibody responses of animals exposed to BVDV either through a natural exposure or an immunization protocol is still a standard procedure. For BVDV, the test formats have been largely limited to ELISA which is a valuable diagnostic test to measure the level of BVDV specific antibodies as well as antigen in blood samples. In the present study, 120 blood samples were collected ...

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen of dairy cattle. In this study, bulk milk samples representing a total of 4105 milking cows, from 18 dairy cattle herds in the suburb of Mashhad- Iran, were tested for presence of BVDV by the use of a nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Nested RT- PCR) assay. Non of the cows in the herds had been vaccinated against...
