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
Authors
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.

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....

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...

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...
