This paper provides a short review of bovine virus diarrhoea (BVD) control programmes across Europe, with a particular focus on current efforts from a stakeholder perspective. Using outputs gained from a global, virtual congress on BVD control, the theory of the journey from BVD control to possible eradication is enriched with insight from stakeholders representing the major parts of the cattle industry. Current control programmes were presented by Javier Dieguez (Galicia), Neil Shand (England), Neil Paton (Wales), Jenny Purcell (Scotland), Maria Guelbenzu (Ireland), Jörn Gethmann (Germany), and Matthias Schweizer (Switzerland).

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is caused by the BVD virus (BVDV) and has been reported worldwide in cattle. To estimate BVDV circulation among cattle where few BVD cases were reported in southern Japan, 1910 serum samples collected from 35 cattle farms without a BVD outbreak were investigated to detect antibodies against BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 using an indicator virus with a cytopathogenic effect and the luciferase gene, respectively. Neutralizing antibodies against BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 were detected more frequently in 18 vaccinated farms than in 17 nonvaccinated farms.

Introduction: While most head movements in daily life are active, most tools used to assess vestibular deficits rely on passive head movements. A single gain value is not sufficient to quantify gaze stabilization efficiency during active movements in vestibular deficit patients. Moreover, during active gaze shifts, anticipatory mechanisms come into play.

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), caused by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), has a significant economic impact on affected farms worldwide. For effective disease control, it is crucial to select an appropriate vaccine based on the specific genotype of BVDV. Therefore, developing a rapid and reliable assay to detect and genotype BVDV is imperative for controlling the spread of disease.

- - The study explores sigma methodology in clinical laboratories to assess process performance and improve patient safety by identifying performance gaps through sigma metrics and quality target index (QGI) values from internal quality control data in coagulation tests.
- - Sigma levels are classified as "world-class," "good," or "unacceptable" based on a formula involving total allowable error (TEa) and coefficient of variation (CV), while QGI values help pinpoint issues in accuracy or precision, guiding necessary improvements.
- - Results indicated that both prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests had sigma values below 3, signaling low quality; subsequent actions for improvement were deemed necessary for the laboratory's coagulation parameters
