Abstract

Although research has demonstrated bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) can be transmitted by a fomite, there are no published studies on the longitudinal survival of BVDV on common materials and within liquids used in livestock production that could serve as fomites. The objective of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal survival of a type lb, non-cytopathic (NCP) BVDV on fomites in the presence or absence of a novel, synthetic mucus.
