Abstract
The pestivirus bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus is the causative agen t of Mucosal Disease (MD) of cattle. From persistently infected animal s, only the non-cytopathogenic biotype BVD virus can be isolated. Catt le succumbing to MD additionally harbour cytopathogenic BVD virus. Whi le cp BVD virus isolates induce a cytopathic effect (cpe) in susceptib le monolayer cell cultures, infection with ncp BVD virus isolates has no visible effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the co rrelation between ope and apoptosis.
