Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (bvdv) Infection in Pregnant Cows and Their Foetuses

The aim of the study was to characterize bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection in pregnant cows and their foetuses. Blood samples from 64 clinically healthy cows, determined as pregnant after slaughter, and from their foetuses were collected into tubes with and without EDTA. In total 128 blood samples were examined for BVDV antibodies and 128 leukocyte samples for BVDV antigens by direc...

Production of monoclonal antibody against recombinant NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (NADL strain)

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....

Prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus antibodies in India.

A study was undertaken regarding the prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) antibodies in bovine sera which tested negative for rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants virus antibodies. The samples were collected between January 1996 and December 1997. A total of 439 samples (327 cattle and 112 buffalo from 17 states of India) were tested using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorb...

Persistent bovine viral diarrhoea virus infection in US beef herds.

In the summer of 1996, we screened 18,931 calves in 128 beef herds located in five US states for persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection. Of these, 76 herds were randomly selected from the client database of collaborating veterinary practices, and 52 herds were suspected by the collaborating veterinarians to have BVDV infection based on history or clinical signs. Serum was obtai...
