Reindeer species (Rangifer tarandus, Linnaeus, 1758) includes wild and semi-domesticated ruminants belonging to Capreaolinae subfamily of Cervidae family reared in Eurasia (reindeer subspecies) and North America (caribou subspecies). Herding of reindeer has a great historical, socio-economic and ecological importance, especially to indigenous ethnic minorities. Infectious disease threats may th...

Çiftlik hayvanlarında multisistemik enfeksiyon tablosu ve yüksek ekonomik kayıplara sebep olan pestiviruslar geniş konakçı spektrumuna sahiptirler. Bu viruslar spesifik olmadıklarından, türler arası geçiş epidemiyolojik yaygınlık açısından önemlidir. Keçilerde oluşan pestivirus enfeksiyonlarına bağlı olarak gebelerde abortlar, anomalili yavru doğumları verim kayıpları meydana gelebilmektedir. a...

Pestivirus infection in pigs are responsible for raising sanitary barriers between countries. Infection caused by Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) in pigs have been reported in countries such as China and the Netherlands, which brings concern about the existence of accurate diagnosis tests, questions about the risk factors involved, and the clinical form that BVDV infection may entail. Despit...

Although most commonly associated with the infection of domestic livestock, the replication of pestiviruses, in particular the two species of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), occurs in a wide range of free ranging cervids including white-tailed deer, mule deer, fallow deer, elk, red deer, roe deer, eland and mousedeer. While virus isolation and serologic analyses indicate that pestiviruses a...

The genus pestivirus in the Flavivirus family is comprised of single-stranded RNA viruses that infect domestic and wildlife hosts. The " classic " pestivirus species, bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (BVDV1), bovine viral diarrhea virus type 2 (BVDV2), border disease virus (BDV), and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) were first detected in domestic animals and early differentiation of pestiv...

Hobi-like pestivirus is a novel pestivirus species first isolated in 2004. Here, we report the genome sequence of a Hobi-like pestivirus strain isolated from contaminated MDBK cells in China. The sequence information is important for surveillance of this emerging animal infectious disease worldwide.

The purpose of this study was to describe the circulation of TTV and/or porcine pestivirus in commercial wean-to-finish populations. Oral fluid samples were collected from 10 wean-to-finish sites at 2week intervals from placement (3 weeks of age) to close-out. Testing for porcine pestivirus and TTV using PCR-based assays was performed on these samples. Among the 600 oral fluid samples tested, o...

In Egypt, bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease (BVD-MD) was initially detected as the result of a serological survey of cattle and sheep, using the serum neutralisation test. In 1970, the causal pestivirus was isolated from bovine calves and buffalo calves with pneumonia and enteritis. Mixed viral infections were also prevalent. Cases of immune tolerance were identified. The Egyptian industry...
