Abstract

Our knowledge of the bovine virus diarrhea virus is still changing, even though we have known about the virus for many years. One of the things we have learned is that the virus has the ability to mutate readily. The "Veterinary Medicine" BVD review from October 1990 gives a good reference although it is already becoming outdated. The incidence of infected herds appears to be on the rise. This is seen primarily in the dairy herds and purebred beef herds. The BVD viruses appear to have the ability to be tissue specific. Different strains may affect certain organs in the body giving rise to a whole host of syndromes caused by the BVD virus.
