abstract

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 bvdv. rna was extracted from somatic cell pellets of bulk milk tank samples. oligonucleotide primers were selected based on the 5´ untranslated region of the bvd virus genome. bvd virus was detected in 2 (11.1%) out of 18 samples, representing 742 lactating cows. these results indicate that nested rt-pcr analysis of bulk milk samples may provide a rapid and sensitive screening method for the detection of bvdv infections in non-vaccinated dairy cattle herds.

The prevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus in persistently infected cows in industrial dairy herds in suburb of Mashhad- Iran

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 persistent...

Detection of Coxeilla brunetii in bulk tank milk samples from dairy bovine farms using nested-PCR in Qom, Iran, 2011

BACKGROUND: Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused byCoxiella burnetii, a species of bacteria that is distributedworldwide. In cattle, Coxiella burnetii infections are generallyasymptomatic but can also be associated with reproductivedisorders. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to achievemolecular detection of Coxiella burnetii in dairy bovine milkfarms using Nested PCR in Qom province, Iran....

Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Bovine Semen Using Nested-PCR

A rapid and sensitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested-PCR were used to detect bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV-1) in bull semen. Selected primers could amplify a part of the 5´UTR of the BVDV genome. A 294 bp DNA fragment was amplified and specificity of the results was confirmed by direct sequencing of the PCR product. Prior to RNA extraction, the seminal...

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...
