 Three forms of disease:
 Acute form: BVD
 Protracted form: Mucosal disease (arising from Persistent infection)
 Persistent infectious form:
- One of the main reservoirs for the virus (shed several billion virions a day)
- Contact with a PI animal: more of a risk for transmitting virus and causing infection than an acutely infected animal
BVD
pathogenesis of BVD
 ncp BVDV: wider distribution throughout the host than cp BVDV.
 ncp BVDV induces humoral response whereas cp BVDV induces cell-mediated immune response.
 Low Virulent Strains:
- Primary replication: tonsils and nasal mucosa & spread to lymph nodes, spleen and thymus; highest number of antigen: six days post-infection.
 High Virulent Strains:
- Primary replication: tonsils and lymph nodes--much more antigen present and spreads much faster; can also spread to T-cell-dependent areas and even bone marrow. Will eventually spread to almost all organs
 Persistent viremia: produced if infected with ncp-BVDV due to its ability to inhibit interferon 1.
- Inhibition of interferon 1 decreases cell’s ability to fight the virus.
 BVDV 1 strain (classical isolates): used in vaccines and diagnostic tests
 BVDV 2 strain (atypical isolates): increased virulence and tissue distribution; associated with thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic syndrome.
transmission of BVD
contaminated semen, transplacental, embryo transfer, modified live vaccine (infects fetus of pregnant cow), fomites, vector borne (horse flies, stable flies, head flies, face flies), environment (shed in feces).
