Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is a common viral disease that can affect both domesticated and
wild animals. Despite their economic losses, there isn't much information available on BVD
in Assiut Governorate. Therefore, the present study's objectives were to determine the clinical
findings, risk factors associations with the infection rate, and molecular diagnosis of BVD
virus (BVDV). The current study was conducted on 50 cattle that belonged to different
villages in Assiut Governorate, Egypt. The clinical examination findings revealed fever, oral
lesions, diarrhea, respiratory symptoms, and corneal opacity. Serum samples were collected
for laboratory analysis. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay had
been employed for BVDV diagnosis. BVDV RNA was found in the serum of seven cattle.
There was no significant difference (P<0.05) between the percentages of BVD infection and
the sex, age, and breed (native and mixed breed) of molecularly tested cattle. According to the
climatologic circumstances of Assiut governorate, there was a discernible variation (P<0.05)
between the BVD infection rate and the cold and hot months. It is advisable to emphasize
how crucial it is to implement efficient preventative and control measures throughout Egypt
in order to reduce the prevalence of BVDV.
