Abstract
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important worldwide disease in the livestock industry. To characterize BVDV circulating in Gyeongbuk province in the Republic of Korea which has the highest cattle population density, 365 rectal swabs from clinically BVDV Korean indigenous calves were collected. Fifty cases were identified as positive for BVDV. A phylogenetic analysis of 5'- untranslated regions (UTR) revealed that most of our cases belonged to BVDV-2a (n = 48), while only two cases were classified as BVDV-1a (n = 1) and 1b (n = 1), respectively. These results indicated that BVDV-2a is the most prevalent subgroup in Korean indigenous calves of Gyeongbuk province.
