Bovine virus diarrhea-mucosal disease. II. Isolation and characterization of a cytopathogenic virus and experimental production of the disease.

Abstract

A disease broke out in calves in the Tokachi district of Hokkaido. It induced pyrexia, respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, bloody feces, leukopenia, and sometimes erosion of the oral mucous membrane and muzzle. Its morbidity rate was 90% and its fatality rate 50%. Bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus was isolated from organs of dead calves and blood and feces of affected calves. It exhibited a cytopathic effect on calf kidney cell culture. Antisera against the Nose and the Oregon C24V strains of BVD virus showed an antibody titer of the same order against the homologous virus and the isolated strain. Antiserum against the isolated strain, however, showed much lower antibody titers against the Nose and the Oregon C24V strains than against the homologous virus. When inoculated with the isolated virus, two calves manifested acute symptoms, but recovered at any rate. One of them, however, suffered again from clinical infection and died eventually 37 days after inoculation. It presented pathological changes closely resembling those of the case of spontaneous infection. Virus was recovered from its principal organs, intestinal canal, and lymph nodes of various regions of the body.
