Key result
The overall true seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea in organized Indian herds was 56.67% (95% CI: 53.26-60.02%), with significantly higher rates in cattle (65.42%) than buffaloes (32.49%).
Why the study?
Bovine viral diarrhoea causes direct loss and immunosuppression predisposing cattle to other diseases, motivating evaluation of its prevalence in organized herds in India.
Cross-Sectional (n=880)
Yes
Bovine viral diarrhoea virus is endemic in Indian organized herds, indicating a need for systematic testing and management strategies to control transmission.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Endemic BVD in Indian herds may warrant surveillance; leaves open optimal species-specific control strategies.
Sarangi et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Bovine viral diarrhoea (n=880). BVDV exposure was evaluated on Overall true prevalence of BVD antibodies (95% CI 53.26-60.02). The overall true seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea in organized Indian herds was 56.67% (95% CI: 53.26-60.02%), with significantly higher rates in cattle (65.42%) than buffaloes (32.49%).
