Indicates potential Australian circulation of atypical bovine pestiviruses; leaves open biosafety risks for serum use and local epidemiology.
The study indicates the presence of atypical bovine pestiviruses in Australian foetal bovine serum, suggesting their presence on the Australian continent.
Xia et al. (2012) studied Atypical bovine pestiviruses in foetal bovine sera. RT-PCR amplification and DNA sequencing was evaluated on Detection and phylogenetic relation of atypical bovine pestiviruses. Atypical bovine pestiviruses closely related to those of South American origin were detected in foetal bovine serum batches of Australian origin.
