SUMMARYA case of infection with the bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV1) with clinical signs of infection with the BVD virus 2 (BVDV2) was observed on a farm on Hokkaido. The affected cow showed thrombocytopenia, fever, and petechiae in the mucous membrane, diarrhea, and leukopenia after calving. The neutralizing antibody titer to the BVDV1 was 2,048, but no virus was isolated from BFM (bovine fetal muscle) cell cultures inoculated with the animal's serum. Sequencing of PCR products revealed the virus to be BVDV1. These findings suggest that BVDV1 infection and/or calving may cause clinical symptoms.-Key words: bovine viral diarrhea virus 1, petechiae, thrombocytopenia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
