atypical porcine pestivirus-a widespread virus in the swedish wild boar population.	the recently identified causative agent of congenital tremor in domestic piglets, atypical porcine pestivirus (appv), was detected in serum from swedish wild boar. a previous study from sweden described appv in domestic piglets suffering from congenital tremor, but the appv situation in the wild boar population was unknown. in this study, 595 serum samples from wild boar originating from 13 counties in the south and central parts of sweden, collected between 2000 and 2018, were analysed for the ...	2021	34331830
detection of pestivirus a (bovine viral diarrhea virus 1) in free-living wild boars in brazil.	bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) is a major pathogen in cattle herds. considering the epidemiological importance of pestiviruses and the process of wild boar invasion in brazil, this study aimed to investigate the presence of bvdv in free-living boars. forty-nine free-living wild boars were collected by exotic wildlife controller agents in 2017 and 2018. the presence of bvdv antibodies was evaluated in 42 serum samples using the virus neutralization test, and the detection of bvdv rna was perf ...	2021	33638128
genotyping of pestivirus a (bovine viral diarrhea virus 1) detected in faeces and in other specimens of domestic and wild ruminants at the wildlife-livestock interface.	pestiviruses are widespread in the world among ungulates and infect both domestic and wild animals causing severe economic losses in livestock. bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (bvdv-1), now re-designated as pestivirus a, causes diseases mainly in cattle, while few data are available about infection in wild ruminants and about the role of these animals in viral maintenance and spread. in order to investigate bvdv-1 infection in domestic and wild ruminants, especially at the wildlife/livestock ...	2019	31383300
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
