“…Mucosal disease was first reported in Australia in 1957 [ 20 ]. The next documented case of BVDV related clinical symptoms was two years later, in 1959, when severe diarrhoea was observed in a group of South Australian yearling cattle [ 21 ].…”

This review outlines the history of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and the current situation in Australia and New Zealand. BVDV has been reported as present in cattle from both countries for close to 60 years. It rates as the second most economically significant disease afflicting cattle, and is highly prevalent and spread throughout the beef and dairy industries. While other cattle diseases have been the subject of government control and eradication, infection with BVDV is presently not. Eradication has been undertaken in many other countries and been judged to be a good investment, resulting in positive economic returns. Presently, Australia and New Zealand have adopted a non-compulsory approach to control schemes, initiated and managed by farmers and veterinarians without the ultimate goal of eradication. Moving towards eradication is possible with the infrastructure both countries possess, but will require additional resources, coordination, and funding from stakeholders to move to full eradication.

“…Mucosal disease, a fatal enteric disease that affects only BVDV PI animals, was first reported in Australia in 1957 and antibodies specific to BVDV were first reported in Australian cattle in 1964 . That survey revealed individual seroprevalences ranging from 13% in South Australia to 65% in Victoria, suggesting that BVDV has been endemic in Australian cattle population for some time.…”

BVDV is endemic in Australian cattle populations, with more than 80% of herds surveyed showing some level of exposure to the pathogen. The cost to the national industry is estimated to be AUD57.9 million annually. This review identifies and discusses the challenges to BVDV control in Australia, including farmer attitudes, herd size, sheep as a potential reservoir host and diagnostic capabilities. We conclude that systematic BVDV control in Australia is, or soon will be, an option; however, detailed cost-benefit analyses will need to be undertaken.

“…Papules, erosions or ulcerations in and around the mouth have been described in cattle affected with mucosal disease (Blood et al, 1957;McCormack et al, 1959), malignant catarrhal fever (Pearson, 1956) and calf diphtheria (Sutherland, 1950). Johnston (1959) mentioned a survey by Baxter of young cattle slaughtered at an abattoir in New South Wales, in which it was estimated that 5 % of these animals showed an erosive stomatitis.…”
