Abstract excerpt
The various measures of genetic variation of BVD virus was reviewed with emphasis on the implications for future control of virus-induced disease and diagnosis. While experimental data does not support unique serotypes for BVDV, there is substantial antigenic variation among the isolates examined. This variation may permit fetal infections even in animals assumed to be well vaccinated. The genetic differences...
