Abstract
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection causes immune dysfunction. The current study investigated the effect of cytopathic (cp) or noncytopathic (ncp) strains of BVDV on immunomodulation by the levels of total serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), the IgG1, IgG2, BVDV neutralizing antibodies and total white blood cell (WBC) count. Twenty (20) BVDV seronegative dairy calves (5-6 months old) were divided in two groups of ten. The animals were infected with either a cp or ncp virus isolated from the same animal (ncp BVDV1b-TGAN or cp BVDV1b-TGAC). One group of 10 was infected with ncp TGAN while the other group of 10 was infected with cp TGAC. Calves infected with cp BVDV had a significant decrease in total IgG as well as IgG1 concentration at 7 days post infection (DPI) that recovered by 21 DPI (total IgG) and 35 DPI (IgG1), respectively. There was no effect of ncp BVDV infection on total IgG concentration in the first 7 days of infection (DOI); however, IgG1 concentration was significantly reduced and IgG2 concentration was significantly increased at 7 DOI. At 35 DPI, ncp TGAN-infected calves had significantly higher total IgG, IgG1 as well as IgG2 compared to cp TGAC-infected calves. Ncp BVDV induced higher BVDV homologous and heterologous neutralizing antibodies compared to the cp BVDV strain. Calves infected with ncp BVDV had significantly reduced WBC counts at 7 DPI that recovered by 14 DPI. Overall, these findings indicate that humoral immunosuppression occurs early following BVDV infection with the largest effect on IgG1 levels.

Abstract
Pestiviruses are among the economically most important pathogens of livestock. The biology of these viruses is characterized by unique and interesting features that are both crucial for their success as pathogens and challenging from a scientific point of view. Elucidation of these features at the molecular level has made striking progress during recent years. The analyses revealed that major aspects of pestivirus biology show significant similarity to the biology of human hepatitis C virus (HCV). The detailed molecular analyses conducted for pestiviruses and HCV supported and complemented each other during the last three decades resulting in elucidation of the functions of viral proteins and RNA elements in replication and virus-host interaction. For pestiviruses, the analyses also helped to shed light on the molecular basis of persistent infection, a special strategy these viruses have evolved to be maintained within their host population. The results of these investigations are summarized in this chapter.

Abstract
Cytopathogenic (cp) bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain KS86-1 cp was isolated from a cow persistently infected with non-cytopathogenic (ncp) BVDV strain KS86-ncp after development of mucosal disease by superinfection with cp BVDV strain Nose. cp BVDV strains 799cp and 839cp were also isolated from independent cattle that developed mucosal disease by superinfection with cp BVDV KS86-1cp. In the present study, genetic analysis revealed that the genes of cp BVDV strains 799cp and 839cp were chimeras between the genes of the persisting ncp BVDVs and that of superinfecting KS86-1cp. The genetic recombination that generates 799cp occurred between the identical points in the N(pro) gene region, whereas genetic recombination that generates 839cp occurred between different points in the N(pro) gene region. Both 799cp and 839cp were inherited Jiv gene of KS86-1cp strain and envelope protein genes of the persisting viruses. In addition, neutralization test disclosed that antigenicities of 799cp, 839cp, and KS86-1cp were also similar to each persisting virus. These findings indicate that exogenous cp BVDV containing insertion of Jiv gene in the 5 terminal region can induce genetic recombination with the original ncp BVDV at different points in the N(pro) gene region, and those viruses have high potential to change those antigenicities and pathogenicities by RNA recombination.

Abstract
Autonomously replicating Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) genomes (replicons) were constructed from the full-length BVDV cDNA clone pA/BVDV/Ins- (G. Meyers et al., J. Virol. 70, 8606-8613, 1996). The sequences coding for envelope protein E2, for E2 without the C-terminal transmembrane region, or for E2 and nonstructural protein p7 were deleted, and the resulting mutants were tested for their ability to replicate after transfection. All deletion mutants were able to replicate and to express the inserted green fluorescent protein but did not produce infectious progeny virus in bovine kidney PT cells. The replicons were also tested for their ability to be trans-complemented in the bovine cell line PT_805, which constitutively expresses BVDV structural proteins. E2-negative BVDV mutants were complemented and >10(6) infectious units were obtained at 24 h after transfection. Complementing PT_805 cells could only inefficiently be infected using trans-complemented virions, however, and low levels of virus production were observed when complemented BVDV was passaged using PT_805 cells. Similarly, infection of PT_805 cells with BVDV was highly inefficient, but transfection of full-length BVDV NCP7 RNA into PT_805 resulted in 10,000-fold higher virus titers when compared to those obtained 24 h after transfection of parental PT cells. We concluded that self-replicating E2-deleted BVDV RNAs can be efficiently trans-complemented by constitutively expressed E2, and that expression of BVDV structural proteins markedly influences susceptibility of cells to BVDV infection as well as BVDV titers after transfection of full-length BVDV RNA.

Abstract
Induction of lethal mucosal disease (MD) in cattle is linked to the generation of cytopathogenic (cp) bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in animals persistently infected with a noncytopathogenic BVDV. In most cases the cp variants are generated by recombination with cellular or viral sequences. BVDV was obtained from the serum of an MD animal and propagated in tissue culture without plaque purification. Analysis of cDNA clones established from RNA of these cells showed that apparently a variety of different viral RNAs were present. Seven of the cDNA clones contained a cellular sequence coding for light chain 3 (LC3) of microtubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B. This insertion had already been found in the cp virus JaCP obtained from the same animal and isolated by plaque purification. Analysis of further plaque-purified cp viruses showed that the diseased animal contained a family of closely related cp BVDV recombinants. A set of viruses with different duplications of viral sequences in their genomes and a variety of defective viral RNAs with deletions were found that all contained the LC3* insertion. For all the recombinants the 3' recombination sites and, in all but one case, also the 5' recombination sites between cellular and viral sequence were identical. Variation between the individual deduced genome structures resulted from different duplications or deletions of viral sequences located upstream of the cellular insertion. These results suggest that within the animal a primary recombinant with a genome containing the LC3* insertion was generated. In a trimming process a set of secondary virus recombinants was generated from this hypothetical primary recombined RNA. These secondary recombinants display genome structures that represent variations of the basic scheme already present in the primary recombinant. Apparently this trimming process that finally led to an outbreak of MD lasted a long time since recombined RNA with the basic genome structure of the cp viruses could be demonstrated in samples already taken a long time before outbreak of the disease.

Abstract
Molecular analysis of a cytopathogenic (cp) bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) isolate (1741) obtained from a case of mucosal disease (MD) led to the identification of five different viral subgenomic RNAs in addition to a noncytopathogenic (noncp) strain (NCP 1741). For each of the subgenomes, a large internal deletion was found together with an inserted sequence encoding part of ribosomal protein S27a fused to an N-terminally truncated ubiquitin monomer. Surprisingly, the two cellular insertions together with flanking viral sequences encoding parts of NS3 and NS4B are >99% identical to the previously described sequence of BVDV vaccine strain RIT (P. Becher, M. Orlich, and H.-J. Thiel, J. Virol. 72:8697-8704, 1998), while the remainder of the subgenomes is derived from the genome of NCP 1741. Further analyses including molecular cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the recombination partners revealed that both homologous and nonhomologous RNA recombination contributed to the generation of the viral subgenomes. Interestingly, for another cp BVDV isolate (CP 4584) from an independent case of MD, again an insertion of a RIT-derived sequence element was detected. In contrast to CP 1741, for CP 4584 a duplication of the genomic region encoding NS3 and parts of NS4A and NS4B was found. Transfection of bovine cells with RNA transcribed from a chimeric cDNA construct showed that the RIT-derived insertion together with the CP 4584-specific duplication of viral sequences represents the genetic basis of cytopathogenicity of CP 4584. Remarkably, passages of the recovered cp virus in cell culture led to emergence of noncp BVDV and a number of viral subgenomes whose genome organization was similar to that in BVDV 1741.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of infection induced by cytopathogenic isolates from the newly identified genetic cluster Id of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type I was studied in two experimental infections of previously seronegative, immunocompetent calves. Experiment 1 focused on the evaluation of clinical patterns, viremia, and serological responses. All infected calves in this experiment developed respiratory symptoms and seroconverted to BVDV positivity. Contact calves also contracted a respiratory tract infection following exposure to infected animals. Viremia was demonstrated between postinfection days 2 and 17, and the virus was detected in organ specimens of all but one each of the infected and contact calves. In experiment 2, the distribution of BVDV in various tissues of calves euthanized at defined days postinfection was studied. In two of these calves recurrent shedding of BVDV in nasal secretions was shown. BVDV was detected in various tissues of all infected calves throughout the experiment and also following seroconversion and the clearance of BVDV from the circulatory system. Despite the widespread distribution of the virus in various organs, significant tissue damage was found mainly in respiratory tract and lymphoid tissues. These experiments revealed that viruses from cluster Id of BVDV are able to induce primary respiratory disease in previously seronegative, immunocompetent calves. Contact transmission and virus recurrence, contrary to observations from acute experimental infections with noncytopathogenic BVDV, are likely to reflect differences in biological features of these cytopathogenic isolates. Virus shedding and its presence in tissues following peripheral clearance and in the presence of antibodies may have implications in the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of BVDV-induced syndromes in cattle.

Abstract
A calf persistently infected with bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) was super-infected with a heterologous BVDV strain, C874, which contained non-cytopathogenic and cytopathogenic viruses. High titres of cytopathogenic BVDV were recovered in the three to four weeks after the challenge. Thereafter low titres of cytopathogenic virus were recovered repeatedly from the blood and the nose, with the titres in nasal secretions increasing in the four weeks before the onset of clinical signs. Neutralising antibodies against the challenge cytopathic virus (C874cp) were first detected 21 days after the super-infection, but these antibodies failed to neutralise the persisting non-cytopathogenic and cytopathogenic viruses isolated from the animal during the course of the infection. Serum collected from 105 days after the super-infection neutralised the cytopathogenic viruses isolated on day 105 and postmortem. These data indicate that unaltered wild-type C874cp was not directly responsible for the late-onset mucosal disease.
