Prevalence and genetic characterization of bovine viral diarrhea virus in dairy cattle in northern China
An epidemiological survey of BVDV conducted in 13 provinces (regions) in northern China between 2022 and 2024 revealed a positive rate of 6.05%. The prevalent genotype identified was BVDV-1, with the predominant sub-genotypes being BVDV-1a, BVDV-1 m, and BVDV-1c. The findings of this study provide new evidence for the molecular epidemiology and genetic evolution of BVDV transmission in northern China, laying a foundational basis for the development of vaccination and control strategies against BVDV.
