The results of experimental infection of seronegative calves with three non-cytopathogenic (NCP) isolates of BVDV isolated from cattle with different clinical manifestations of the disease belonging to genotype 1 (subgenotype 1a, 1b and 1d) are presented. All tested isolates showed the virulence for seronegative calves 4 to 6 months of age. Belonging to biotype did not correlate with the ability of the virus to infect the lymphoid tissues and to induce leukopenia. All isolates of the virus led to "transiting" leukopenia (up to 2880-3800 kl/mm3) for 8-10 days after infection. Isolate cluster 1d was more virulent and caused the development of a mild respiratory syndrome and short-term diarrhea. The virulence was "strain-dependent".

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) causes infections of the respiratory tract of cattle and is endemic in the Netherlands. We aimed to update our knowledge on the seroprevalence of BRSV in youngstock on Dutch dairy farms by performing a cross sectional study during the winter of 2021-2022 and a telephone survey with the farmers to map the most important risk factors for the introduction, presence, and circulation of BRSV. Of 671 sampled calves among 135 herds, we found a seropositivity of 75 % at calf level and 77 % on herd level.

Fetal infection with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) after 150 d results in transient fetal infections (TI). Twenty-five unvaccinated, yearling Hereford heifers, seronegative for antibodies to BVDV1 and BVDV2, were bred by artificial insemination with X chromosome-bearing sperm from 1 Angus sire to examine the impact of TI on postnatal growth, estimated dry matter digestibility, blood parameters, and carcass characteristics. On day 175 of pregnancy, dams were intranasally inoculated with either sham control or 4.

Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is an important pathogen of American bison (Bison bison), associated with high morbidity and mortality epizootics of respiratory and reproductive disease. Despite the significant negative impact on bison health, little is known about the kinetics of disease and the host immune response to infection.
