Key result
Pestiviral RNA was detected in 44 of 2,236 ruminant farms in southern Italy, with BVDV-2c predominantly found in sheep and goats.
Cross-Sectional (n=2,236)
Yes
The circulation of BVDV-2c in small ruminants in southern Italy highlights the need for continuous surveillance for pestivirus emergence.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant enhanced pestivirus surveillance in small ruminants; leaves open broader emergence risks beyond cattle.
Decaro et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Pestivirus infection (n=2,236). Pestivirus exposure was evaluated on Detection of pestiviral RNA. Pestiviral RNA was detected in 44 of 2,236 ruminant farms in southern Italy, with BVDV-2c predominantly found in sheep and goats.
