Title A name given to the resource An outbreak of winter dysentery caused by bovine coronavirus in a high-production dairy cattle herd from a tropical country Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Elisabete Takiuchi, Aline Fernandes Barry, Alice Fernandes Alfieri, Patrícia Filippsen, Amauri Alcindo Alfieri Description An account of the resource Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a known cause of winter dysentery (WD) in adult cattle. The morbidity of the disease is high, that results in a significant decrease in milk production and consequently, economic losses. In the present study, we report on a classical outbreak of WD that affected a high-production Holstein dairy herd raised in a tropical country. The lactating batch included 154 cows, and 138 (90%) presented diarrhea in a short (nine days) period of time. Three (2%) cows died. The other batches of animals did not become ill. The evolution of the disease in the herd, including the clinical signs and epidemiological features, strongly suggested a WD case. Semi-nested PCR and RFLP confirmed that BCoV was the cause of the infection. Samples tested negative for all other enteric pathogens. This case report highlights the importance of BCoV in WD even in tropical countries such as Brazil.O coronavirus bovino (BCoV) pode causar a diarreia de inverno (WD - Winter Dysentery) ao infectar bovinos adultos, particularmente em regiões de clima temperado ou frio. A morbidade da doença é alta, resultando em queda na produção de leite e, consequentemente, perdas econômicas. No presente estudo, é descrito um surto clássico de WD acometendo um rebanho de bovinos leiteiros da raça Holandesa PB, de alta produção, proveniente do estado do Paraná. O lote afetado era composto por 154 vacas em lactação, sendo que 138 (90%) apresentaram diarreia em um curto (nove dias) período de tempo e 3 (2%) vacas morreram em consequência da diarreia, desidratação e desequilíbrio eletrolítico. As outras categorias de animais do rebanho (bezerras, novilhas e vacas secas) não apresentaram sinal clínico. A evolução da doença clínica, assim como a epidemiologia da infecção sugeriu um quadro clássico de WD. O diagnóstico foi realizado por meio da identificação do BCoV, pela técnica de semi-nested PCR e confirmação por RFLP, em amostra fecal de uma vaca que veio a óbito. A presença de outros patógenos entéricos também foi avaliada e apresentou resultados negativos. O surto de WD descrito na região sul do Brasil alerta para a possibilidade da ocorrência dessa virose também em países situados em regiões de clima tropical.
