Bovine virus diarrhea-mucosal disease. II. Isolation and characterization of a cytopathogenic virus and experimental production of the disease. 1978

Y Hashiguchi, and S Inui, and K Nanba, and T Kumagai

A disease broke out in calves in the Tokachi district of Hokkaido. It induced pyrexia, respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, bloody feces, leukopenia, and sometimes erosion of the oral mucous membrane and muzzle. Its morbidity rate was 90% and its fatality rate 50%. Bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus was isolated from organs of dead calves and blood and feces of affected calves. It exhibited a cytopathic effect on calf kidney cell culture. Antisera against the Nose and the Oregon C24V strains of BVD virus showed an antibody titer of the same order against the homologous virus and the isolated strain. Antiserum against the isolated strain, however, showed much lower antibody titers against the Nose and the Oregon C24V strains than against the homologous virus. When inoculated with the isolated virus, two calves manifested acute symptoms, but recovered at any rate. One of them, however, suffered again from clinical infection and died eventually 37 days after inoculation. It presented pathological changes closely resembling those of the case of spontaneous infection. Virus was recovered from its principal organs, intestinal canal, and lymph nodes of various regions of the body.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001908 Diarrhea Viruses, Bovine Viral A group of viruses in the genus PESTIVIRUS, causing diarrhea, fever, oral ulcerations, hemorrhagic syndrome, and various necrotic lesions among cattle and other domestic animals. The two species (genotypes), BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 , exhibit antigenic and pathological differences. The historical designation, BVDV, consisted of both (then unrecognized) genotypes.

D001912 Bovine Virus Diarrhea-Mucosal Disease Acute disease of cattle caused by the bovine viral diarrhea viruses (DIARRHEA VIRUSES, BOVINE VIRAL). Often mouth ulcerations are the only sign but fever, diarrhea, drop in milk yield, and loss of appetite are also seen. Severity of clinical disease varies and is strain dependent. Outbreaks are characterized by low morbidity and high mortality. Mucosal Disease, Bovine Viral Diarrhea,Bovine Virus Diarrhea Mucosal Disease
