The clinical manifestations of bovine viral diarrhea infection.

BVDV infections may result in a wide range of clinical manifestations ranging from subclinical infections to a severe, highly fatal form referred to as MD. In recent years, a better understanding of pathogenesis has been achieved that has allowed for a better understanding of the different clinical forms of BVDV infection. Knowledge in this area continues to evolve. The clinical forms of BVDV infections are best understood by breaking them into categories that include infections in immunocompetent cattle, fetal infections, and infections in cattle that are immunotolerant to BVDV.
