Understanding the Effect of BVDV on Innate Immune Response of Neutrophils
<p>Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the highly prevalent and economically important diseases of cattle industry worldwide. The two major consequences of this disease are persistent infection and immunosuppression. Several studies have been done to determine the underline mechanisms of …

Using Genetic and Pathogeneses Studies to Develop Antiviral and BVDV Vaccine Targets
<p>Understanding bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) interaction with the host may help explain the ability of the virus to cause multiple forms of disease ranging from subclinical symptoms to severe disease and even death. BVDV cytopathogenicity and onset of mucosal disease within one herd of PI …

The Indirect Effect of BVDV on Immune Suppression: The Role of Infected Macrophages in Lymphocyte Apoptosis
<p>BVDV is an important pathogen of cattle that affects both the dairy and beef industry causing severe economic losses. The main problem of BVDV is the immune suppression that is associated with lymphoid depletion shortly post infection. The mechanism of this immune suppression is not well …

Investigation of surveillance techniques to detect Bovine viral diarrhea virus in cattle
<p><em>Bovine viral diarrhea viruses<em> (BVDV) are important pathogens of cattle globally. Vaccination is often used to control BVDV, but complete control requires detection and elimination of cattle persistently infected (PI) with BVDV. These cattle are infected with BVDV during gestation, become …

Identification and mode of action studies of new potent inhibitors of the RNA viruses HCV, BVDV and RSV
… of several virus families, including HCV BVDV, YFV, REO-1, CVB-5, Sb-1 and RSV. Some of the new derivatives turned out to be very interesting for their potency and selectivity against BVDV and HCV (the former), and RSV (the latter), and could be promising candidates for the treatment of …

Dissecting the Entry Pathways of Hepatitis C and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Viruses
… C virus (HCV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are closely related members of the family Flaviviridae and are important human and animal pathogens, respectively. In this work, I investigated how these viruses interact with and enter both naïve and previously infected cells, specifically, …

Development of a Subunit Vaccine Against Bovine Diarrhea Caused by K99 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
… in calves; whereas bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) causes diarrhea and other illness to cattle at all ages. A vaccine that prevents against both K99 fimbrial ETEC and BVDV could benefit greatly to cattle producers worldwide. We hypothesized that a novel multivalent vaccine composed of K99, STa …

Biosecurity and risk analysis for cow-calf enterprises: a simulation model for Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
… strategies for Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) on cow-calf farms. Where possible, risk distributions were defined in the course of a critical literature review covering all publications since 1990 relevant to BVDV on cow-calf farms. The prevalence of persistent infections (PIs) in adult …

Mitigation of Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex: Interactions of Physiology, Immunology, Nutrition and Management
… infected (PI) bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) challenge on health, performance, bovine viral diarrhea virus titers, peripheral blood leukocytes, and inflammatory cytokines. The objective was to compare preconditioned (PC) or auction market (AM) origin cattle, with (PI) or without (CON) …

A Prevalence Study of Southeast Origin Sale Barn Beef Cattle, Comingled in Warren County, Kentucky, Persistently Infected with Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus, including the Effects of Season and Body Weight
… (PI) with the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are a powerful agent for spread of the virus. A total of 24,423 southeast origin beef cattle comingled at three Warren County, Kentucky locations were tested from November 2007 to June 2010 for PI BVDV. A total of 97 head tested positive for …

Implémentation d'une méthode de détection du virus de la diarrhée virale bovine au sein de la fondation de la promotion des productions andines Proinpa (Bolivie)
… Bolivia, since 2009 it is certain that there is BVDV infection and the prevalence is high in comparison with others areas. Furthermore, this virus can also infect « New Worlds camelids » which are the alpacas, lamas, vicunas and guanacos species living in South-America. The aim of this study was …

Essays in the economic implications of select animal health and crop production issues
… the incursion of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in a cow-calf herd and minimize the uncertain financial impacts. The specific objectives of this study are to estimate the impact of BVDV introduction to representative U.S. cow-calf operations using an epidemiological disease spread model and …

Identification et analyse fonctionnelle de nouveaux variants d’épissage du CD46 des bovidés, le (co)-récepteur du virus BVD/MD
… que le pestivirus de la diarrhée virale bovine (BVDV) se lie à la molécule CD46, ce qui favorise ensuite l'entrée du virus. La cartographie du site de liaison au virion du BVDV a montré que deux peptides, 66EQIV69 et 82GQVLAL87, situés sur des feuillets bêta antiparallèles dans le module de …

Genetic and Biochemical Analyses of the Flaviviridae Capsid Proteins
… analysis of the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) capsid protein revealed a remarkably flexible molecule, capable of binding RNA with low affinity and low specificity in vitro. The ability of BVDV capsid to functionally replace a nonspecific RNA condensing sequence in vivo suggests a …

Control and mitigation of bovine viral diarrhoea in Australian cattle populations.
… of cattle. The causative agent, BVD virus (BVDV), is a member of the genus Pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae, closely related to Border Disease Virus and Classical Swine Fever Virus. An increased incidence and severity of secondary disease and potentially dramatic reproductive loss …

Prevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus subspecies among persistently infected positive samples submitted to a diagnostic laboratory from cattle in the United States
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an infectious disease affecting ruminants worldwide. Impacting the respiratory, reproductive, and digestive systems, BVDV remains one of the most economically damaging diseases to cattle producers. Previous phylogenetic analysis has divided the virus into two …

Assessing and understanding the generation and function of RNA decay intermediates in non-insect borne flaviviruses
… and Pestivirus, Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), possess XRN1 stalling elements within their 5' UTRs. These stalling sites block the action of the exonuclease and generate decay intermediates. The generation of these decay intermediates represses XRN1 activity in the infected cell. Herein …
