Bovine pestiviruses are the causative agents of bovine viral diarrhea, a disease that causes severe economic losses in cattle. The aim of this study was to improve their diagnosis by developing a RT-qPCR to detect bovine pestiviruses A, B and H; and to set up a protocol for collecting, shipping and preserving bovine pestiviral RNA on filter papers. The developed RT-qPCR showed high sensitivity in detecting these viruses in different matrices: viral stocks, semen and serum samples.
