Abstract
Despite the success of regional bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDV) eradication programs,
infections remain a source of economic loss for producers. The wide variation among
BVDV results in differences in genotype, biotype, virulence, and types of infections.
BVDV infect a range of domestic and wild ruminants. Clinical presentation varies depending
on strain of virus, species of host, immune status of host, reproductive status of
host, age of host, and concurrent infections. Recent advances in BVDV research and
diagnostics have led to the development of regional eradication/control programs,
the most efficacious of which focus on biosecurity, surveillance, and control.
