BVD virus infection: prospects for control.

P L Roeder, J W Harkness

    The Veterinary Record
    |February 8, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pestivirus infections cause significant cattle losses. Avoiding fetal infection through early gestation immunization is key to controlling these economically important diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Animal Infectious Diseases
    • Livestock Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Pestivirus infections represent a major economic concern for the cattle industry.
    • Understanding of pestivirus pathogenesis and epidemiology has historically been limited.
    • Recent research has improved clarity on disease mechanisms and spread in cattle populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current knowledge on pestivirus introduction and maintenance in cattle.
    • To emphasize the critical role of persistent infections originating from intrauterine transmission.
    • To discuss strategies for controlling pestivirus by preventing fetal infection.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing scientific literature on pestivirus in cattle.
    • Analysis of epidemiological data concerning disease transmission.
    • Discussion of control measures, including vaccination strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Pestivirus can be introduced and maintained within cattle populations through specific transmission routes.
    • Persistent infections, often resulting from intrauterine infection, are central to disease maintenance.
    • Effective control hinges on preventing fetal infection during early gestation.

    Conclusions:

    • Preventing intrauterine pestivirus infection in early gestation is crucial for disease control in cattle.
    • Immunization of female cattle using live or inactivated virus vaccines is a potential control strategy.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate and combat pestivirus infections in cattle.
