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.

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 ...

Long-Term Circulation of Atypical Porcine Pestivirus (APPV) within Switzerland. [PDF]
In 2015, a new pestivirus was described in pig sera in the United States. This new "atypical porcine pestivirus" (APPV) was later associated with congenital tremor (CT) in newborn piglets.

The genus Pestivirus of the family Flaviviridae includes 11 species. Bovine pestiviruses are the causative agents of viral diarrhea/mucosal disease and include three genetically distinct species: pestivirus A (BVDV-1), B (BVDV-2), and H (BVDV-3).

Members of the genus Pestivirus, are causative agents of economically important diseases for livestock and wild animals that occur worldwide, such as bovine viral diarrhea, classical swine fever, and border disease of sheep. Pestivirus have novel insertions of host genes in the viral genome and functions of unique viral proteins, N(pro) and E(rns ...

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.

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

Proposed revision to the taxonomy of the genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae [PDF]
We propose the creation of seven new species in the genus Pestivirus (family Flaviviridae) in addition to the four existing species, and naming species in a host-independent manner using the format Pestivirus X. Only the virus species names would change;

African swine fever (ASF) has become one of the most significant transboundary animal diseases affecting countries worldwide. Wild boars play a major role in virus persistence and in local spread through geographical contiguity, while long-distance and ...
