- Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is bad for cattle and costs farmers money because it makes their cows less healthy and requires expensive control programs.
- Scientists created a new test called rE2-ELISA to find BVDV by using special proteins from the virus, making it easier to spot different types of BVDV around the world.
- The rE2-ELISA test works really well, being over 92% accurate, and can help farmers quickly identify sick animals, which is important for keeping herds healthy.

It has been suggested that their function depends on final conformation of glycosylations, related with affinity to the receptor and its half-life. The presence of EpoR has been reported in different tissues including central nervous system, where it has been demonstrated to exert a neuroprotective function against oxidative stress conditions, such as ischemic injury and neurodegenerative diseases.
