Abstract:Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) lacks strict host specificity and can infect many species in the order Artiodactyla. BVDV infection in pregnant heterologous hosts can be deleterious. Limited information exists regarding genomic changes occurring in BVDV upon infection of heterologous hosts. Using a BVDV isolate previously demonstrated to cause PI cattle, goats, and white-tailed deer, this study investigated the outcome of serial infection in pregnant BVDV-naive sheep, a heterologous species that is phylogen… Show more
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.
