Immunohistochemical Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Skin Biopsies: a Reliable and Fast Diagnostic Tool

Abstract
Skin biopsies from 184 cattle were immunohistochemically tested for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection. BVDV infection was detected sensitively and specifically by visceral organ immunohistochemistry or by standard virological methods.
