consequences
• Infection of adult cattle - mild to severe
• Infection of pregnant cattle - fetal infection
mild to severe
• Superinfection of persistently infected
cattle
Events leading to mucosal disease
Infection of a pregnant cow with noncytopathic BVDV
during early gestation results in in-utero infection of the
developing fetus
Cow recovers from infection by making antibody. Fetus
survives infection, becomes immunotolerant to the virus
and no antibody is produced
Apparently normal calf is born with persistent viral
infection
Calf reaches adulthood, becoming a lifelong carrier.
Superinfection with a cytopathic BVDV of either
endogenous origin (mutation of resident noncytopathic
virus) or exogenous source can occur
Due to immunotolerance, animal is unable to mount an
effective immune response to control the cytopathic virus
and succumbs to muscosal disease
Mucosal disease (MD) –2 steps
Mucosal disease (MD) –
always deadly
• Step 1 - NCP virus in utero infection -
Immunological tolerance
• Step 2 - Superinfection with CP virus - cell
destruction, no immune response - death
