Diarrhea Viruses, Bovine Viral

Medical Definition: 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 (DIARRHEA VIRUS 1, BOVINE VIRAL) and BVDV-2 (DIARRHEA VIRUS 2, BOVINE VIRAL), exhibit antigenic and pathological differences. The historical designation, BVDV, consisted of both (then unrecognized) genotypes.
Guide Notes: historical only: prefer specifics; infection = BOVINE VIRUS DIARRHEA-MUCOSAL DISEASE or HEMORRHAGIC SYNDROME, BOVINE
Diarrhea Viruses, Bovine Viral Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Diarrhea Virus 1, Bovine Viral - A species of PESTIVIRUS causing systemic infections (BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA-MUCOSAL DISEASE) in cattle and some other cloven-hoofed animals. There are several strains and two biotypes: cytopathic (rare) and non-cytopathic. Infections range from clinically inapparent to severe, but do not correlate with biotypes.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Diarrhea Virus 2, Bovine Viral - A species of PESTIVIRUS causing systemic infections including BOVINE VIRUS DIARRHEA-MUCOSAL DISEASE and Bovine Hemorrhagic Disease (HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE, BOVINE) in cattle and some other cloven-hoofed animals. There are several strains and two biotypes: cytopathic (rare) and non-cytopathic. The severity of disease appears to be strain dependent. Cytopathogenic effects do not correlate with virulence as non-cytopathic BVDV-2 is associated only with Hemorrhagic Disease, Bovine.
