Abstract

Infections with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) occur in various artiodactyls. Persistent infections occur in non-bovine species, but rarely in goats. Recently, a persistently infected (PI) goat was born following experimental infection of pregnant goats. The present study evaluated the potential of BVDV transmission from the PI goat to pregnant goats and calves.
