Why the study?
The study was conducted to provide as complete a picture of the worldwide bovine viral diarrhoea virus situation as possible by mapping its prevalence and mitigation programmes.
This study provides a global map of BVDV prevalence and mitigation programs to assist veterinary public health authorities in decision-making.

Maps heterogeneous global BVDV burden and control gaps; leaves open standardized eradication strategies for endemic regions.
The aim of this study was to collect information on the global distribution of the prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and respective mitigation programmes, using a questionnaire and literature review to provide as complete a picture of the worldwide BVDV situation as possible. This study collated information on 107 countries with respect to mitigation activities and 88 countries regarding BVDV infections during the observation period (1960-2017). A heterogeneous epidemiological situation for both BVDV prevalence and the presence of mitigation programmes was observed. The results of this analysis could be used to increase the visibility of the distribution of BVDV, to provide supporting data for global animal disease databases and to assist veterinary public health authorities in the decision-making processes to establish mitigation activities.
