Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) affects cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and other ruminants, as well as some wild animals. BVDV\ncauses considerable economic losses every year and many countries have developed programs aimed at the eradication of this\ndisease. The genetic diversity of BVDV in diseased goats has never been described in southwestern China.Thus, in this study, we\napplied antigen-capture ELISA and RT-PCR to survey the infection rate of BVDV in diseased goats in this region. Our results\ndemonstrated that the average BVDV infection rate in goats was 17.51%, with all positive samples indicating infection by BVDV-\n1 and not BVDV-2, BVDV-3, or Border disease virus...................
