Q

Characteristics of BVBD infection in pregnant cows

A

Transplacental spread to fetus

Disease depends on fetus age:

  • Early- embryonic death/reabsorption
  • Before Immunological Competence - destructive fetal lesions, persistent postnatal infection, retarded growth “weak calf syndrome”, congenital defects
  • Late- carriers of virus, seronegative.

16
Q

Mucosal Disease caused by BVDV

A

Sporadic disease occuring in persistently infected animals, usually as an aftermath of an epizootic infection

17
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) belong to the genus

Q

Pathogenesis of BVDV mucosal disease

A

Develop after infection with both non-cytopathic and cytopathic biotypes

20
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea

A

24
Q

Characteristics of persistant BVDV infection in calves and mucosal disease

A

Caused by non cytopathic virus

Failure to thrive

Mucosal disease develops when co-infected with cytopathic virus
