Efficient generation of recombinant RNA viruses using targeted recombination-mediated mutagenesis of bacterial artificial chromosomes containing full-length cDNA [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Infectious cDNA clones are a prerequisite for directed genetic manipulation of RNA viruses. Here, a strategy to facilitate manipulation and rescue of classical swine fever viruses (CSFVs) from full-length cDNAs present within bacterial ...

Recent Advances in Pestivirus Research
Introduction. The term ‘pestivirus’ was coined in 1973 to group together two antigenically related enveloped RNA viruses: hog cholera virus (HCV) and bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV; Horzinek, 1973). A third animal pathogen, the border disease virus (BDV) of sheep, was found later to be a close relative of BVDV.

Detection of Pestivirus in small ruminants in Central Java, Indonesia [PDF]
Background and Aim: Globally, pestiviruses are among the most economically important viral pathogens of livestock. The genus Pestivirus comprises four species, including bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 and 2 (BVDV-1 and BVDV-2), which infect cattle ...

Distribution of Pestivirus exposure in wild ruminants in Spain
A large-scale study was carried out to determine the prevalence of antibodies against Pestivirus species in wild ruminants and describe their spatial variation in mainland Spain. Serum samples of 1,874 wild ruminants from different regions of this country were collected between the years 2000 and 2017.

Genomic characteristics of classical swine fever virus strains of bovine origin according to primary and secondary sequence structure analysis [PDF]
Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), species member of the family Flaviviridae, is generally considered restricted to domestic and wild suids. Circulation of CFSV has been detected in cattle herds in China and India. Natural infection appeared

Protocol for a Scoping/Systematic Review: Scoping Review of Vaccination for the Prevention of Calf Scours in Cow-Calf Operations [PDF]
Background: The use of antimicrobials in the livestock industry has been a topic of increasing concern in the last few years. Calf scours is one of the main causes of mortality among calves younger than 1 month and affects the development of the animal,

Mechanism of action of a pestivirus antiviral compound [PDF]
We report here the discovery of a small molecule inhibitor of pestivirus replication. The compound, designated VP32947, inhibits the replication of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in cell culture at a 50% inhibitory concentration of approximately 20 nM.

Seroprevalences of Newly Discovered Porcine Pestiviruses in German Pig Farms
Several novel porcine pestiviruses that are linked to disease outbreaks in commercial pig farms were discovered during recent years. Bungowannah pestivirus (BuPV; new species Pestivirus F) causes sudden death in young pigs, but has only ever been ...

Global Transcriptomic Profiling of Bovine Endometrial Immune Response In Vitro. II. Effect of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus on the Endometrial Response to Lipopolysaccharide [PDF]
Infection with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) is associated with uterine disease and infertility. This study investigated the influence of ncpBVDV on immune functions of the bovine endometrium by testing the response to bacterial ...
