Close relationship of ruminant pestiviruses and classical Swine Fever virus

Emerg Infect Dis. 2015 Apr;21(4):668-72. doi: 10.3201/eid2104.141441.

Abstract

To determine why serum from small ruminants infected with ruminant pestiviruses reacted positively to classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-specific diagnostic tests, we analyzed 2 pestiviruses from Turkey. They differed genetically and antigenically from known Pestivirus species and were closely related to CSFV. Cross-reactions would interfere with classical swine fever diagnosis in pigs.

Keywords: CSF control; CSFV; classical swine fever virus; novel pestivirus; pestiviruses; ruminant; serology; viruses.
