Abstract
A virus known to cause multiple problems in cattle, bovine viral diarrhea v irus, was isolated from 3 different cases in New World camelids. Virus isol ation, immunoperoxidase staining, and fluourescent antibody staining were u sed to detect the virus. The herds involved were screened for antibody tite rs to bovine viral diarrhea and virus isolation from the buffy coat. Bovine viral diarrhea virus should be considered as a cause of death in young and old New World camelids.
