Key result
Pestivirus infection was identified in 16 of 17 Pyrenean chamois during an outbreak of a previously unreported disease in northeastern Spain.
Observational (n=17)
A new pestivirus belonging to the border disease virus cluster was identified in Pyrenean chamois associated with a disease outbreak in Spain.
May link novel pestivirus to chamois outbreaks; leaves open its role in causation and wildlife surveillance needs.
Pestivirus infection was identified in 16 of 17 chamois during an outbreak of a previously unreported disease in Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica) in northeastern Spain in 2001-02. By analysis of the 5' noncoding regions of the virus, we assigned it to the border disease virus cluster with pairwise similarity values ranging from 82.1% to 88.1%. It will be important to investigate the association of this pestivirus with disease in Pyrenean chamois.
