Abstract

Bovine Torovirus (BoTV or bredavirus) is an uncultivable, enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus that causes diarrhea in calves. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of BoTV in bovine fecal samples from clinical cases of gastroenteritis sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL), and its rate of detection with other enteric pathogens.
