| absence of circulation of pestivirus between wild and domestic ruminants in southern spain. | ruminant pestiviruses (family flaviviridae) affect both wild and domestic ruminants worldwide, causing reproductive disorders and severe economic losses. wild (n=1442) and domestic (n=373) ruminants from southern spain were tested for the presence of antibodies to pestiviruses. seropositivity was detected by both elisa and virus neutralisation test in 1/892 (0.1 per cent) red deer, 29/125 (23.2 per cent) cattle and 17/157 (10.8 per cent) sheep. pestivirus-specific antibodies to bovine viral diar ... | 2016 | 26864026 | 
| identification of bovine viral diarrhea virus infection in saanen goats in the republic of korea. | bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) is one of the most important viral pathogens of livestock and causes substantial economic losses to the livestock industry worldwide. bvdv is not necessarily species specific and is known to infect domesticated and wild ruminants. in the present study, bvdv infection was identified in two saanen goats from one farm, and two different viral subtypes were found, bvdv-1a and bvdv-2a. each isolate was closely related to cattle isolates identified in the republic of ... | 2016 | 26992733 | 
| what can pestiviral endonucleases teach us about innate immunotolerance? | pestiviruses including bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv), border disease virus (bdv) and classical swine fever virus (csfv), occur worldwide and are important pathogens of livestock. a large part of their success can be attributed to the induction of central immunotolerance including b- and t-cells upon fetal infection leading to the generation of persistently infected (pi) animals. in the past few years, it became evident that evasion of innate immunity is a central element to induce and maint ... | 2016 | 27021825 | 
| the role of herpesviruses (bohv-1 and bohv-4) and pestiviruses (bvdv and bdv) in ruminant abortion cases in western turkey. | the economic impact of abortions in ruminant breeders is one of the biggest problems in livestock. of the infectious agents, viruses, especially herpesviruses and pestiviruses, are the most important causative agents of abortion in ruminants. in the present study, the role of herpesviruses (bovine herpesvirus-1 (bohv-1), bovine herpesvirus-4 (bohv-4)) and pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv), border disease virus (bdv)) was investigated in cases of ruminant abortion between 2007 and ... | 2016 | 27038195 | 
| evidence for tunisian-like pestiviruses presence in small ruminants in italy since 2007. | the genus pestivirus, which belongs to the flaviviridae family, includes ssrna+ viruses responsible for infectious diseases in pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and other domestic and wild ruminants. like most of the rna viruses, pestivirus has high genome variability with practical consequences on disease epidemiology, diagnosis and control. in addition to the officially recognized species in the genus pestivirus, such as bvdv-1, bvdv-2, bdv and csfv, other pestiviruses have been detected. furthermore ... | 2016 | 27041547 | 
| sequence-based comparative study of classical swine fever virus genogroup 2.2 isolate with pestivirus reference strains. | this study was undertaken with the aim to compare and establish the genetic relatedness between classical swine fever virus (csfv) genogroup 2.2 isolate and pestivirus reference strains. | 2015 | 27047198 | 
| pestivirus in alpine wild ruminants and sympatric livestock from the cantabrian mountains, spain. | bovine viral diarrhoea virus (bvdv) and border disease virus (bdv) were investigated at the wildlife-livestock interface in the distribution area of chamois in the cantabrian mountains, north-western spain. from 2010 to 2014, sera from sympatric wild (n=167) and domestic (n=272) ruminants were analysed for pestivirus antibodies by celisa, virus neutralisation test (vnt) and for the presence of pestiviral rna using a reverse transcription (rt)-pcr. results showed a higher seroprevalence in cattle ... | 2016 | 27083871 |

| evidence of circulation of the novel border disease virus genotype 8 in chamois. | evidence of association between the novel putative border disease virus genotype 8 (bdv-8) and fatal disease in an alpine chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) is reported. diagnostically, we also demonstrated, as already previously reported, the failure of bdv-specific primers (pdb1 and pdb2) to detect bdv-8. | 2017 | 27761745 | 
| molecular and serological survey of selected viruses in free-ranging wild ruminants in iran. | a molecular and serological survey of selected viruses in free-ranging wild ruminants was conducted in 13 different districts in iran. samples were collected from 64 small wild ruminants belonging to four different species including 25 mouflon (ovis orientalis), 22 wild goat (capra aegagrus), nine indian gazelle (gazella bennettii) and eight goitered gazelle (gazella subgutturosa) during the national survey for wildlife diseases in iran. serum samples were evaluated using serologic antibody test ... | 2016 | 27997620 | 
| spatial and temporal phylogeny of border disease virus in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra p. pyrenaica). | border disease virus (bdv) affects a wide range of ruminants worldwide, mainly domestic sheep and goat. since 2001 several outbreaks of disease associated to bdv infection have been described in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica) in spain, france and andorra. in order to reconstruct the most probable places of origin and pathways of dispersion of bdv among pyrenean chamois, a phylogenetic analysis of 95 bdv 5'untranslated sequences has been performed on chamois and domestic ungulat ... | 2016 | 28033381 | 
| a serosurvey for ruminant pestivirus exposure conducted using cattle sera collected for brucellosis surveillance in the united states. | four species of ruminant pestivirus are currently circulating in the united states: bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 and 2 (bvdv-1, -2; predominant host: cattle), border disease virus (bdv; predominant host: sheep), and pronghorn virus (sporadically detected in wild ruminants). a third bovine pestivirus called hobi-like virus has been detected in cattle and water buffalo in south america, asia, and europe. to date, no isolations of hobi-like viruses from u.s. cattle have been reported. to assess ex ... | 2017 | 28074709 | 
| influence of border disease virus (bdv) on serological surveillance within the bovine virus diarrhea (bvd) eradication program in switzerland. | in 2008, a program to eradicate bovine virus diarrhea (bvd) in cattle in switzerland was initiated. after targeted elimination of persistently infected animals that represent the main virus reservoir, the absence of bvd is surveilled serologically since 2012. in view of steadily decreasing pestivirus seroprevalence in the cattle population, the susceptibility for (re-) infection by border disease (bd) virus mainly from small ruminants increases. due to serological cross-reactivity of pestiviruse ... | 2017 | 28086880 | 
| detection of border disease virus in mexican cattle. | the genus pestivirus within flaviviridae is comprised of four recognized species, namely, bovine viral diarrhoea virus 1 (bvdv-1), bovine viral diarrhoea virus 2 (bvdv-2), border disease virus (bdv) and classical swine fever virus (csfv). bdv, while primarily infecting sheep and goats, has also been reported in cattle and wild animals. infections of sheep and goats result in economic loss due to abortions and the birth of persistently infected animals that have poor production and reduced life e ... | 2017 | 28474402 | 
| proposed revision to the taxonomy of the genus pestivirus, family flaviviridae. | we propose the creation of seven new species in the genus pestivirus (family flaviviridae) in addition to the four existing species, and naming species in a host-independent manner using the format pestivirus x. only the virus species names would change; virus isolates would still be referred to by their original names. the original species would be re-designated as pestivirus a (original designation bovine viral diarrhea virus 1), pestivirus b (bovine viral diarrhea virus 2), pestivirus c (clas ... | 2017 | 28786787 | 
| new leaves in the growing tree of pestiviruses. | pestiviruses are a group of viruses of veterinary importance infecting livestock animals like pigs, cattle, and sheep, and also wildlife animals like wild boar and different deer species. while for decades only four classical species (classical swine fever virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 and 2, border disease virus), and a few so-called atypical pestiviruses were known (e.g., giraffe virus, pronghorn virus, hobi virus), a series of novel pestiviruses was identified in the last years ( ... | 2017 | 29029724 | 
| self-clearance of pestivirus in a pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica) population. | understanding the dynamics of host-pathogen interaction is key to the management of epidemics. a pestivirus belonging to the border disease virus group 4 emerged around 2001 in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica) in spain and france. the virus had significant demographic impact in some populations, but it was less harmful and more endemic in other places. the determinants of these local variations are still unclear. here, we documented empirical evidence of self-clearance of the virus in a ch ... | 2017 | 29148885 | 
| new insights on pestivirus infections in transhumant sheep and sympatric pyrenean chamois (rupicapra p. pyrenaica). | border disease virus (bdv) causes health and economic impact on livestock and is also of importance in wildlife conservation as it causes high mortality outbreaks in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). pastoral practices are known as a main interspecies pathogen transmission. hence, the presence of pestivirus in transhumant sheep flocks and sympatric chamois was assessed in areas with different epidemiological scenarios of chamois bdv infections. moreover, the present study had als ... | 2018 | 29615262 | 
| serological survey for antibodies against pestiviruses in wyoming domestic sheep. | pestiviruses including bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (bvdv-1), bvdv-2 and border disease virus (bdv) have been reported in both sheep and cattle populations, together with the hobi-like, an emerging group of pestiviruses. pestivirus control programs in the united states have focused on the control of bvdv-1 and 2. the incidence of pestivirus infection in sheep in the united states and the risk of transmission between cattle and sheep populations are unknown. the aim of this study was to per ... | 2018 | 29778211 | 
| the genome of border disease virus genotype 8 from chamois by next generation sequencing. | border disease virus (bdv) is widespread both in domestic small ruminants and wildlife. here we report the genome of bdv genotype 8 from chamois, strain italy‑58987, obtained by next generation sequencing and the comparison with other pestiviruses. the sequence of 12,245 bp long was aligned to 22 pestivirus genomes and it showed a nt/aa similarity of 81.3/89.4% with bdv genotypes, and 65.9/67.8% with the other pestiviruses. the genome showed a mean nt/aa similarity of 91.2/95.0% with three swis ... | 2019 | 30794320 | 
| experimental infection with high- and low-virulence strains of border disease virus (bdv) in pyrenean chamois (rupicapra p. pyrenaica) sheds light on the epidemiological diversity of the disease. | since 2001, pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica) populations have been affected by border disease virus (bdv) causing mortalities of more than 80% in some areas. field studies carried out in france, andorra, and spain have shown different epidemiological scenarios in chamois populations. this study was designed to confirm the presence of bdv strains of a high and low virulence in free-ranging chamois populations from pyrenees and to understand the implications of these findings to th ... | 2019 | 30963719 | 
| histological and virological findings in severe meningoencephalitis associated with border disease virus in alpine chamois (rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra) in aosta valley, italy. | in 2015, a young female alpine chamois (rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra), originated from the aosta valley region, northernwestern italy, was conferred to the national reference centre for wild animal diseases for pathologic examinations. histological analysis revealed a severe meningoencephalitis characterized by lymphocytic and plasmacellular infiltration, gliosis, perivascular cuffs, and leptomeningitis at the level of brain and brain stem. laboratory investigations included polymerase chain re ... | 2019 | 31086771 | 
| sanitary emergencies at the wild/domestic caprines interface in europe. | population density and distribution of the four native european wild caprines (rupicapra rupicapra, rupicapra pyrenaica, capra ibex, capra pyrenaica) have increased in recent decades. the improved conservation status of this valuable wildlife, while a welcome event in general terms, is at the same time a matter of concern since, intuitively, frequent and tighter contacts with sympatric livestock imply a greater risk of cross-transmission of emerging and re-emerging pathogens, and offer unexpecte ... | 2019 | 31694211 | 
| pestivirus infections in semi-domesticated eurasian tundra reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus): a retrospective cross-sectional serological study in finnmark county, norway. | members of the pestivirus genus (family flaviviridae) cause severe and economically important diseases in livestock. serological studies have revealed the presence of pestiviruses in different cervid species, including wild and semi-domesticated eurasian tundra reindeer. in this retrospective study, serum samples collected between 2006 and 2008 from 3339 semi-domesticated eurasian reindeer from finnmark county, norway, were tested for anti-pestivirus antibodies using an enzyme linked immunosorbe ... | 2019 | 31888097 | 
| distribution of pestivirus exposure in wild ruminants in spain. | a large-scale study was carried out to determine the prevalence of antibodies against pestivirus species in wild ruminants and describe their spatial variation in mainland spain. serum samples of 1,874 wild ruminants from different regions of this country were collected between the years 2000 and 2017. a total of 6.6% (123/1,874) animals showed antibodies against pestivirus by both blocking elisa (belisa) and virus neutralization tests (vnt). the prevalence of antibodies against pestiviruses was ... | 2020 | 32920992 |
