The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to detect bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) for the rapid diagnosis. The primers were selected from the p80 region of BVDV gene. The RT-PCR assay detected all of the 17 BVDV strains tested including cytopathogenic and non-cytopathogenic strains, while specific amplification was not observed from 17 bovine viruses other than BVDV. Detection limit of the assay was 10(1.5) TCID50/ml. Sera and organ samples were collected from four field bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease (BVD-MD) cases; mucosal disease, abortion, diarrhea and persistent infection. The RT-PCR assay detected BVDV from those samples more than conventional virus isolation method.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010576 Pestivirus A genus of FLAVIVIRIDAE, also known as mucosal disease virus group, which is not arthropod-borne. Transmission is by direct and indirect contact, and by transplacental and congenital transmission. Species include BORDER DISEASE VIRUS, bovine viral diarrhea virus (DIARRHEA VIRUS, BOVINE VIRAL), and CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER VIRUS. Pestiviruses
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
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

D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
D005260 Female Females
D000034 Abortion, Veterinary Premature expulsion of the FETUS in animals. Veterinary Abortion,Abortions, Veterinary,Veterinary Abortions
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012367 RNA, Viral Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral RNA
