Mucosal disease arises only in PI animals either due to recombination of the BVDV genome with cellular genome or due to horizontal superinfection with the cytopathic biotype (Brownlie et al.
They are the main cause of virus circulating in herds and they may live for many years or succumb to

We do not disagree with the authors' opinions and respect their large clinical experience in burn patients, but respectfully suggest that the existing published data currently do not support their conclusions about patients at risk for stress-related

The disease leads to marked disfigurement and patients with

For example, although the
