    Abstract:
    Two bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) fetal protection studies were done using a monovalent noncytopathic (NCP) BVDV vaccine containing type 1 BVDV. In study 1, thirty-two fetuses (23 vaccinates and nine controls) were recovered following fetal challenge with the type 1a BJ strain. Twenty of twenty-three fetuses from the vaccinates were negative for BVDV type 1 while all of the controls (nine of nine) were infected. In study 2, twenty-two animals (14 vaccinates and eight controls) were challenged with the type 2 PA131 strain. Thirteen of the fourteen fetuses from the vaccinates were negative for BVDV type 2 while all of the nonvaccinated controls (eight of eight) were infected. These results indicate the efficacy of a monovalent NCP BVDV vaccine in providing excellent protection against either BVDV type 1 or 2 fetal infection.
