FIRST GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA VIRUS DETECTION OF BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 IN RESPIRATORY AFFECTED CATTLE IN MOROCCO

Abstract

BVDV is one of the most important pathogens worldwide. Molecular data on this pathogen remain insufficient in North African cattle. We aim to report the molecular detection and the genetic characterization of BVDV in Cattle with Clinical Respiratory Symptoms in Morocco. We collected nasal swabs from 200 cattle with respiratory signs in the Casablanca-Settat region. Each sample was subjected to individual BVDV screening using the real-time RT-PCR assay, targeting the 5′UTR. We performed conventional RT-PCR, targeting the 5′UTR and Npro genes, and sequenced the amplified Three positive samples via the Sanger method. Reference BVDV genotypes from GenBank were included in the phylogenetic analysis. Of the nasal swabs collected, 2.5% (5/200) were found positive to BVDV through real-time RT-PCR, and the results were confirmed by conventional PCR targeting the Npro and 5'UTR genes. Sanger sequencing of three positive samples focusing on the 5′ UTR and Npro regions led to the detection of two positive samples for the BVDV-2 genotype and one sample positive for the BVDV-1 genotype. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that the BVDV-1 isolate belongs to the European BVDV-1 clade. Furthermore, BVDV-2 isolate represents a distinct sub-genotype or a geographically unique variant of BVDV-2.The study estimates the occurrence of BVDV in respiratory symptomatic cattle and provides the first molecular evidence of BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 in Morocco. This finding could be significant for the epidemiology, diagnosis, and control of BVDV infection in Morocco.
