Pestiviruses, like classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), infect both domestic and wild animals. Understanding their circulation in wildlife is crucial for controlling animal diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Wildlife Disease Ecology

Background:

  • Pestiviruses exhibit broad host specificity, affecting domestic and wild animals.
  • Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are significant concerns in livestock and wildlife populations.
  • Previous BVDV isolations require careful consideration due to potential contamination issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the diversity and circulation of pestiviruses in wildlife populations.
  • To assess the potential for pestivirus transmission between domestic and wild animals.
  • To identify challenges and future research directions in pestivirus epidemiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on pestivirus identification and genetic typing in wild animals.
  • Analysis of reported pestivirus species and genotypes found in wildlife.

  • Discussion of epidemiological data and technical challenges in pestivirus research.

    • Main Results:

    • Three pestivirus species (CSFV, BVDV-1, giraffe pestivirus) and three genotypes (BDV-2, BDV-4, pronghorn) have been identified in wildlife.
    • Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-1 is prevalent among early pestivirus isolates from wild species.
    • Antibodies specific to BVDV have been detected in both captive and free-living animals.

    Conclusions:

    • Pestiviruses are actively circulating in diverse wildlife populations, posing a potential risk to domestic animal health.
    • Effective eradication programs for diseases like CSFV require consideration of wildlife reservoirs.
    • Further research is needed to address epidemiological and technical challenges in understanding pestivirus dynamics in wildlife.
