Relationship between degree of viremia and disease manifestations in calves with experimentally induced bovine viral diarrhea virus infection

Abstract

Degree of viremia induced during BVDV infection is associated with severity of clinical disease. Isolates of BVDV that induce a high degree of viremia may be more capable of inducing clinical signs of disease. Strategies (eg, vaccination) that reduce viremia may control clinical signs of acute infection with BVDV.
