Description

Virus diarrhea of cattle was first recognized in New York in dairy cattle in 1946. In 1952 a similar disease, but with a high death rate of affected animals, was seen in Iowa and was called "mucosal disease." It has since been determined that strains of virus causing diarrhea and mucosal disease are closely related. Now bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) is the generally accepted name for this disease which can appear in various forms.
