Evidence for Persistent Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Infection in a Captive Mountain Goat ( Oreamnos Americanus )
1 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) viruses are pestiviruses that have been isolated from domestic and wild ruminants. There is serologic evidence of pestiviral infection in more than 40 species of free-range and captive mammals.
