What is the evidence that bovine coronavirus is a biologically significant respiratory pathogen in cattle?
Coronaviruses, including bovine coronavirus (BCoV), are etiologically associated with enteric and respiratory disease across a wide range of mammalian and avian species. The role of BCoV in calfhood diarrhea is well-established, but its role in the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) has been controversial. This review re-examines the evidence that BCoV is a significant pathogen in the BRDC.
