Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) control has improved with better diagnostics and eradication strategies. Scandinavian countries successfully use test-and-removal policies, offering a model for other European nations, though compromises like vaccination may be needed.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Animal Health Economics
  • Disease Control Strategies

Background:

  • The economic impact of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) was historically underestimated.
  • Limited diagnostic tools and control procedures hindered effective management of BVDV infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advancements in BVDV diagnostics and control strategies.
  • To evaluate the success of eradication programs, particularly in Scandinavian countries.
  • To propose adaptable control strategies for European countries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic improvements in serology and virology over the last 15 years.
  • Analysis of eradication strategies, including test-and-removal policies for persistently infected (PI) animals and movement restrictions.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of biosecurity measures and vaccination as components of control programs.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in laboratory diagnosis of BVDV infections.
    • Successful BVDV eradication in Scandinavian countries through strict test-and-removal policies.
    • Identification of potential challenges and alternative strategies for BVDV control in other European regions.

    Conclusions:

    • The Scandinavian BVDV control model, based on biosecurity, PI animal removal, and herd monitoring, has proven effective.
    • Adaptable strategies combining test-and-removal with vaccination may be necessary for widespread European adoption.
    • Biosecurity is crucial for the coexistence of diverse BVDV control programs across Europe and for international trade.
