Key result
A BVD eradication program in cattle significantly decreased BVDV seroprevalence in sheep, demonstrating that sheep populations partially profit from cattle eradication efforts.
Why the study?
BVDV and BDV can transmit between cattle and sheep, but control programs are restricted to cattle, leaving the impact of cattle BVD eradication on pestivirus seroprevalence in sheep unclear.
Observational
BVD eradication in cattle significantly reduces BVDV seroprevalence in sheep, demonstrating cross-species benefits of the eradication program.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Cattle BVD eradication may lower sheep seroprevalence; supports cross-species benefits but leaves open targeted interventions.
Huser et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Pestivirus (BVDV and BDV) infection. BVD eradication program in cattle vs. Before eradication program was evaluated on BVDV and BDV seroprevalence in sheep. A BVD eradication program in cattle significantly decreased BVDV seroprevalence in sheep, demonstrating that sheep populations partially profit from cattle eradication efforts.
