The Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) and the Infectious Bovine Rinotraqueitis (IBR) are two diseases of viral etiology, highly contagious, of easy transmission and of wide distribution through out the world . The reproductive loses may well be the principal consequence associated with the infection by these agents as they are two of the main diseases that affect reproduction all over the most import...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a globally-distributed agent responsible for numerous clinical syndromes that lead to major economic losses. Two species, BVDV-1 and BVDV-2, discriminated on the basis of genetic and antigenic differences, are classified in the genus Pestivirus within the Flaviviridae family and distributed on all of the continents. BVDV-1 can be segregated into at least tw...

Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....

Molecular characterization of bovine viral diarrhea virus pair 13 revealed that isolate CP13 is composed of a cytopathogenic (cp) defective interfering particle (DI13) and a noncytopathogenic (noncp) helper virus. The DI13 genome possesses two internal deletions of 1,611 and 3,102 nucleotides. Except for a small fragment of the gene coding for glycoprotein E1, all structural protein genes are d...

Endemic diseases of cattle, such as bovine viral diarrhea, have significant impact on production efficiency of food of animal origin with consequences for animal welfare and climate change reduction targets. Many modeling studies focus on the local scale, examining the on-farm dynamics of this infectious disease. However, insight into prevalence and control across a network of farms ultimately ...

In this study, a novel indium tin oxide (ITO)-polyaniline (Pani) biosensor was designed, fabricated, and characterized. Initial testing was conducted for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The biosensor design was based upon the specific nature of antibodies to capture the target virus, and the conductive properties of self-doped Pani to translate the antibody-antigen binding ...
