Supports chamois population surveillance; leaves open BDV-4 spillover risks and needs longitudinal studies.
Cross-Sectional (n=477)
Border disease virus genotype 4 was associated with a severe disease outbreak in Pyrenean chamois in Andorra in 2009.
Fernández-Sirera et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Border disease virus (BDV) infection (n=477). Pestivirus exposure was evaluated on Antibodies against pestivirus detected by ELISA in chamois (95% CI 1.29-13.11). Pestivirus exposure was detected in 5% of Pyrenean chamois (95% CI 1.29-13.11), with BDV-4 identified as the cause of a severe disease outbreak in 2009.
