También conocida como: '''''Diarrea Vírica Bovina - Disentería de Invierno Bovina - Enteritis coronavírica de Terneros - La diarrea - [[Disentería de Invierno]] — BCV'''''
== Introducción ==
Bovine coronavirus (BCV) is as a '''[[Viruses|viral]] cause of calf enteritis'''. The virus infects the '''enteric and/or upper respiratory tract''' of calves and contributes to '''[[Enzootic Pneumonia - Calves|Enzootic pneumonia of calves]]'''. It is also the cause of '''[[Winter Dysentery]]''' in adult housed cattle.
== Distribution ==
Bovine coronavirus has been found in cattle '''worldwide'''.
Wild ruminants are also infected with the virus. Even though other [[Coronaviridae|coronaviruses]], it is an accepted rule that a coronavirus isolated from any species is named after that host.
The primary routes of entry for bovine coronavirus are via the '''faecal-oral route''' or the nasal cavity (Clark, 1993). Adult cattle are carriers and excrete the virus at low levels; however, during parturition, cows shed higher titres of the virus.
The incidence of BCV varies in different parts of the world but published and annual reports indicate that BCV causes 15-30% of all calf enteritis cases.<ref>Langpap, T. J., Bergeland, M. E., Reed, D. E (1979) '''Coronalviral enteritis of young calves: Virologic and pathologic findings in naturally occurring infections'''.'' Am. J. Vet. Res''., 40:1476-1478</ref> Incidence may be underestimated because many laboratories around the world are not equipped with BCV antigen detection methods.
== Signalment ==
Calves '''1-week to 3-months-old''' are usually infected.
This condition affects cattle and zebu worldwide and can also affect wild ruminants such as deer.
In cattle where the disease causes '''[[Winter Dysentery]]''', this occurs in '''autumn and winter when the cattle are housed.'''
In '''adult''' animals, the disease is usually '''sub-clinical''', and the virus may be excreted intermittently at low levels.<ref> Schoenthaler, S. L., Kapil, S (1999) '''Development and applications of a bovine coronavirus antigen detection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.''' ''Clinical & Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology'', 6(1):130-132; 13</ref>.
== Clinical Signs ==
Clinical signs include '''[[Diarrhoea|diarrhoea]], sometimes with haematochezia or melaena''', rumen atony, anorexia or a reduced appetite, weight loss or reduced weight gain, decreased milk yield and dehydration and depression.
Respiratory signs may include '''serous nasal discharge, progressing to purulent''' if secondary bacterial infection is present, coughing, dyspnoea and tachypnoea.
== Diagnosis ==
History, signalment and clinical signs can be indicative of the disease.
Distinguishing between different BCV isolates with '''monoclonal antibodies''' is difficult. Most BCV isolates and wild ruminant strains can be distinguished on the basis of a '''haemagglutination inhibition test''' using mouse erythrocytes.
Enteric BCV infections generally are diagnosed by examination of '''faecal samples or intestinal contents by electron microscopy (EM) or [[ELISA testing|ELISA]].'''
No diagnostic tools are available for cow-side testing or in-office testing for veterinarians. When sending samples to diagnostic services it is important to include at least '''five sections from different parts of the gut, including the spiral colon''' because this is the common site of virus persistence<ref> Kapil, S., Goyal, S. M., Trent, A. M (1994) '''Cellular immune status of coronavirus-infected neonatal calves'''. ''Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases'', 17(2):133-138; 16</ref> <ref>Kapil, S., Trent, A. M., Goyal, S. M (1994) '''Antibody responses in spiral colon, ileum, and jejunum of bovine coronavirus-infected neonatal calves.''' ''Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases'', 17(2):139-149; 13</ref>
In respiratory disease, the viral antigen can easily be demonstrated in washed nasal epithelial cells by '''direct [[Immunofluorescence|fluorescent antibody test]]'''. Demonstrating the antigen in the lower respiratory tract is difficult.
Serological tests, such as '''indirect fluorescent antibody''', are used to monitor the presence of antibody in colostrum, serum, and intestinal contents. However, these are not yet commercially available.
== Treatment ==
Treatment of BCV is generally '''symptomatic.''' Fluid therapy is given orally or intravenously. Astringents also are used to control diarrhoea. Additional feeding of fortified colostrum may be useful in preventing the clinical disease in newborn calves.<ref> Murakami, T., Hirano, N., Inoue, A., Tsuchiya, K., Chitose, K., Ono, K., Yanagihara, T (1986) '''Prevention of calf diarrhea with an immunoglobulin diet in beef herds.''' ''Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science'', 48(5):879-885; 19</ref>
== Control ==
A '''dam vaccine''' is available as a control measure for this disease. This should be given '''mid-late gestation''' to increased the number of BCV antibodies in the dams' colostrum. At birth, the calf must drink this colostrum for the vaccine to have been of any effect.
General husbandry measures such as ensuring good hygiene and ventilation in calving pens is important.
