Abstract
Pestivirus infection in pigs are responsible for raising sanitary barriers between countries. Infection caused by Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) in pigs have been reported in countries such as China and the Netherlands, which brings concern about the existence of accurate diagnosis tests, questions about the risk factors involved, and the clinical form that BVDV infection may entail. Despite the importance of the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV), which affects swine, triggers serious animal health problems and raises trade restrictions. Therefore, this review focused on gathering information regarding to the infection of pigs by BVDV and foster scientific community about a recent problem that has been worrying many countries.
