May guide bovine surveillance toward emerging genotypes; leaves open causal mechanisms and broader applicability.
Phylogenetic analysis of bovine pestiviruses suggests that the emergence of specific genotypes is associated with a shift from ancestral enteric symptoms to reproductive and respiratory problems.
Jones et al. (2004) studied Pestivirus infections in bovines (n=115). Bovine pestivirus genotypes was evaluated on Phylogenetic classification and evolution of clinical symptoms. Phylogenetic analysis of 115 bovine pestiviruses suggests enteric problems are ancestral, while reproductive and respiratory problems arose with the emergence of genotypes 1b, 1d, and Arg 1.
