Abstract

The purpose of this study was to detect and confirm PI dairy cattle, research the dam's location during the first trimester of gestation, and genetically sequence a portion of the 5' untranslated (UTR) region of viral RNA to determine the prevalence of different genotypes of BVDV PI dairy cattle in the upper midwestern United States.
