Abstract

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a Pestivirus from the Flaviridae family. Several countries from the European Union have included BVDV as part of their list of notifiable diseases. In the United States, several professional associations like the Academy of Veterinary Consultants and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners have called for the establishment of BVDV control programs and eventual eradication of BVDV in the US. Nevertheless, in order to establish suscessful control programs, we must address those particular management areas that represent a potential source of BVDV infection to the farms. This will assist herd owners and veterinarians being more efficient in their efforts.
