HoBi-like pestiviruses (also known as bovine viral diarrhea virus 3) have been sporadically reported from naturally infected cattle in Brazil, Asia, and Europe. Although HoBi-like viruses seem to be endemic in Brazilian cattle and buffalo, they have not been studied in the other countries of South America to our knowledge. Herein we report serologic results of buffalo from 12 large farms in Argentina located near the Brazilian border. These buffalo were not vaccinated against pestiviruses. Our results indicate that HoBi-like virus may be circulating in the northeastern region of Argentina given that half of the analyzed animals showed high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the pestivirus. The HoBi-like seropositive animals were also checked for neutralizing antibodies against BVDV-1a, BVDV-1b, and BVDV-2, and in most cases these animals had low levels or no detectable antibodies against these other pestiviruses. Our study suggests a need for continued pestivirus surveillance in Argentinean cattle and buffalo.

Background: Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection, caused by Pestiviruses A and B, with various clinical findings and causes significant economic losses. This disease is common in Turkey as well as in other countries, especially in European countries.
Objective: This study was designed to determine the genotypes of BVDVs and their variability among cattle in eastern Turkey.

Introduction: The Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus 1 (BVDV1) and HoBi-like virus (BVDV3), both within the same genus, share genomic homology and exhibit low antigenic cross-reactivity despite presenting similar clinical manifestations. In 2021, a bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) outbreak on two cattle farms in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China resulted in ten fatalities.
Methods: Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analyses were used to identify viral agents, including a co-infection case.

Article Synopsis
- Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is a significant economic threat to livestock due to its complex transmission and diverse pestiviruses (BVDV-1, -2, and HoBi-like pestivirus), prompting eradication plans in several countries, including France since 2019.
- A study collected 1,037 BVDV-positive cattle samples in France from 2011 to 2023, revealing that two main BVDV-1 genotypes (1e and 1b) make up 88% of the sequences, with other less common genotypes also identified.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed different global distribution patterns for the main genotypes, but their relative frequencies have remained stable in France since

Bovine Pestivirus typically involves one or more organ systems, with clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe fatal systemic illness that lead to significant reproductive, productive, and economic losses. Vaccines face the challenge of addressing the significant variability of pestiviruses, which affects the interaction between viral antigens and the immune system's ability to provide protection. This study aimed to evaluate the serological responses against bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (Pestivirus A) and Pestivirus B induced by 10 commercial vaccines, including one recombinant (vaccine E), two modified live (MLV multivalent, vaccine I, and MLV monovalent, vaccine J), and seven killed vaccines (KLV, vaccines A to H).

Background: Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is caused by Pestivirus A and Pestivirus B. Northern Ireland (NI) embarked on a compulsory BVD eradication scheme in 2016, which continues to this day, so an understanding of the composition of the pestivirus genotypes in the cattle population of NI is required.
Methods: This molecular epidemiology study employed 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) genetic sequencing to examine the pestivirus genotypes circulating in samples taken from a hotspot of BVD outbreaks in the Enniskillen area in 2019.
