A Metagenomics and Case-Control Study To Identify Viruses Associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a common health problem for both dairy and beef cattle, resulting in significant economic loses. In order to identify viruses associated with BRD, we used a metagenomics approach to enrich and sequence viral nucleic acids in the nasal swabs of 50 young dairy cattle with symptoms of BRD. Following deep sequencing, de novo assembly, and translated protein sequence...
