Atypical BVDV-1d mucosal disease without intestinal lesions warrants diagnostic vigilance in calves; leaves open strain-specific pathogenesis questions.
Observational (n=22)
BVDV-1d can cause a form of mucosal disease lacking intestinal lesions that clinically mimics vesicular diseases like foot and mouth disease.
Bianchi et al. (2016) conducted an observational in BVDV-1d-induced mucosal disease (n=22). BVDV-1d infection was evaluated on Clinical and pathological features of mucosal disease. An outbreak of BVDV-1d in calves caused mucosal disease with high morbidity and lesions restricted to the upper alimentary system and skin, absent from the intestine.
