title: Insemination of susceptible and preimmunized cattle with bovine viral diarrhoea virus infected semen.
abstract: Six susceptible and six preimmunized heifers were inseminated with semen from a bull persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV). They had poor rates of conception, but ultimately, all but one conceived. Eleven, apparently normal, calves were born, none of which showed evidence of BVDV infection.
