  • Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is the prototypic member of the genus Pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae. (auburn.edu)
  • For the successful execution of these control measures, knowledge of the epidemiology of BVDV must be complete, including the recognition of other potential sources of the virus. (auburn.edu)
  • However, susceptibility of white-tailed deer to BVDV infection does not alone imply or prove a role in the epidemiology of the virus or prove the existence of a wildlife reservoir. (auburn.edu)
  • Persistently infected cattle are the most efficient source of BVDV and constitute the major source of transmission of the virus within and among cattle herds. (auburn.edu)
  • These findings demonstrate that BVDV may efficiently cross the species barrier to provide a potential alternative niche to ensure viral survival and propagation. (auburn.edu)

  • BVDV RNA was demonstrated in human live virus vaccines produced in Japan, Italy and Switzerland. (whale.to)
  • BVDV in fetal bovine serum that is used to grow the substrate cells used for the preparation of the virus vaccines is a likely source of the contamination. (whale.to)
  • The present data so not necessarily indicate that the virus vaccines examined were contaminated with infectious BVDV, but any adventitious viral agents in a vaccine is undesirable. (whale.to)
  • Since noncytopathic strains of BVDV are capable of incorporating the host cellular RNA into their genomes, BVDV contamination would raise another issue with regard to the safety of virus vaccines produced in continuous cell lines which are potentially oncogenic. (whale.to)
