abstract

bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) is a pestivirus of the flaviviviridaefamily that infects cattle, and its widespread distribution can cause substantial economic losses worldwide. the aims of this study were: (1) to estimate the prevalence of animals persistently infected (pi) with bvdv in industrial dairy cattle herds in suburb of mashhad- iran; and (2) to compare the occurrence of persistently infected (pi) animals in industrial dairy cattle herds where bvdv animals had been either removed from or retained in the herds. in total, 157 blood samples were taken from individual cows from 18 holstein dairy cattle herds each containing 250-3000 cows in suburb of mashhad. the blood samples were analyzed for the presence of bvdv using pestivirus antigen-capture elisa. positive animals were retested after three weeks and animals those tested positive again weredefined as pi. we found that only 3/18 herds (16.7%) containedantigen-positive cows, and that only 5/157 animals tested (3.2%) wereantigen positive. all of the positive animals were confirmed as pi, andall of pi cows were less than 17 months old. the true prevalence ofantigen-positive cows was calculated to be 3.31%. a significantproportion (p

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 ...

Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Using a Nested RT-PCR Assay in Bulk Milk Samples of Dairy Cattle Herds in Suburb of Mashhad-Iran

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...

The first study of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) co- infection in industrial herds of cattle in two provinces of Iran

BIV is a well-known bovine immunosup-pressive cause, but its pathogenesis has not been well characterized. It seems that it is possible that cofactors such as co- infection with other bovine viral pathogens may play a role in enhancing the pathogenesis of BIV infection; BVDV also has immunosuppressive effects. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was determination of possible correlation between BI...

Persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds

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...

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of bovine viral diarrhea virus in dairy herds of Fars province, Iran

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the most important viral pathogens of cattle worldwide. The aim of present study was to determine the molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of BVDV infection in dairy herds of Fars province, Iran. For initial screening, a total of 400 blood samples were collected from 12 industrial dairy herds with previous history of diarrhea, abortio...
