Abstract: Bovine viral diarrhoeaemucosal disease (BVD-MD) is caused by a Pestivirus. Two genotypes are recognized: BVDV-1 and BVDV-2. BVDV-1 causes diarrhoea, respiratory disorders and reproductive disorders. BVDV-2 causes a haemorrhagic syndrome. We describe several hypervirulent outbreaks characterized by severe haemorrhagic signs caused by BVDV-1 in Sicily.
