Hobi-like pestivirus persistent infection in a calf caused clinical signs typical of bovine viral diarrhea virus and viral shedding in all body secretions, with maximal titers in urine.
This report provides new insights into the pathogenesis of the emerging Hobi-like pestivirus in calves.
Clinicians should consider Hobi-like pestivirus in BVD-like calf disease; case report leaves open its prevalence and control implications.
A calf persistently infected by Hobi-like pestivirus was monitored for about 6 months, displaying clinical signs typical of bovine viral diarrhea virus persistent infection and shedding the virus through all body secretions, with maximal titers detected in urine. This report provides new insights into the pathogenesis of the emerging pestivirus.
