Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is a disease that affects cattle and other ruminants worldwide causes considerable economic losses. A cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2017 July 2018 with the aim to estimate prevalence of Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) antibodies identify potential risk factors associated occurrence in dairy peri-urban areas Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia. total ...

The experimental objective was to evaluate safety of spray-dried plasma protein after oral administration in weanling pigs by monitoring clinical, serological, and performance results. Thirty-six pigs (13.6 kg body weight) were randomly assigned to dietary treatments consisting of control (soybean meal) or 8% plasma. Diets were formulated to contain 1.20% lysine due to continuous administration...

Challenges in eradicating BVD (bovine viral diarrhoea) include lack of farmer motivation, difficulties in encouraging compliance with biosecurity and testing protocols, and variations in opinions regarding responsibility to eradicate the disease (gunn and others 2005, Booth and Brownlie 2012). a coordinated approach, industry support, farmer cooperation, achievable targets and effective communi...

Certain of the complex spectral effects of vowel nasalization bear a resemblance to the effects of modifying the tongue or jaw position with which the vowel is produced. Perceptual evidence suggests that listener misperceptions of nasal vowel height arise as a result of this resemblance. Whereas previous studies examined isolated nasal vowels, this research focused on the role of phonetic conte...

BACKGROUND This study describes the transmission of border disease virus (BDV) from a persistently infected calf to seronegative heifers in early pregnancy, resulting in persistently infected fetuses. On day 50 of pregnancy (= day 0 of the infection phase), six heifers were co-housed in a free stall with a bull calf persistently infected with BDV (pi BVD) for 60 days. The heifers underwent dail...

Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae, danshen root (danshen), is one of the widely used Chinese herbal medicines in clinics, containing rich phenolic compounds. Salvianolic acid is the main active compound responsible for the pharmacologic effects of danshen. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of salvianolic acid on cardioprotection through promoting angiogenesis in experimental myocardial infarctio...

Recently, a new approach of upstream detection of BVD virus in raw, unprocessed FBS has been described. This is a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (S-ELISA) designed to detect presence of BVD virus in the serum, using a commercially available diagnostic kit (Syracuse Bioanalytical, Syracuse, NY). In this study, the S-ELISA kit that uses raw (unprocessed) FBS as the testing sample was ...

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen of cattle worldwide. Infection of a pregnant animal may lead to persistent infection of the foetus and birth of a persistently infected (PI) calf that sheds the virus throughout its life. However, BVD viruses are not strictly species specific. BVDV has been isolated from many domesticated and wild ruminants. This is of pr...
