MeSH definition : A species of PESTIVIRUS causing systemic infections including BOVINE VIRUS DIARRHEA-MUCOSAL
DISEASE and BOVINE HEMORRHAGIC SYNDROME in cattle and some other cloven-hoofed animals.
There are several strains and two biotypes: cytopathic (rare) and non-cytopathic.
The severity of disease appears to be strain dependent. Cytopathogenic effects do
not correlate with virulence as non-cytopathic BVDV-2 is associated only with Hemorrhagic
Disease, Bovine.;
