Abstract:

Background and Aims: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is considered as worldwide and economically significant infection. The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of persistent bovine viral diarrhea infection (PI) in industrial dairies of Tehran and Alborz province, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 102371 blood samples were collected from bovine of industrial dairies of Tehran and Alborz province during 2018. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed for determination of viral genotypes, including BVDV1, BVDV2, and HOBi like among PI samples. Results: A total of 102371 samples were collected from 76 industrial dairies in Tehran and Alborz province, that 512 cases were PI. All samples were positive for BVDV1 (100%). Other genotypes were not found among PI samples. Conclusion: Prevalence of persistent bovine viral diarrhea infection in industrial dairies in Tehran and Alborz was not high. However, it will be further decreased by implementing control and eradication programs.

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...

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 Infection in US Beef Herds

In the summer of 1996, we screened 18,931 calves in 128 beef herds located in five US states for persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection. Of these, 76 herds were randomly selected from the client database of collaborating veterinary practices, and 52 herds were suspected by the collaborating veterinarians to have BVDV infection based on history or clinical signs. Serum was obtai...
