Conclusions
The present study shows that BCV and BRSV infections
in beef cattle are not equally distributed throughout Sweden
and higher-prevalence areas are located in the same
southern parts of the country. These results form a basis
for further investigations of between-herds dynamics and
risk factors for these infections aiming to design effective
control strategies. They are also of interest and could be
utilized for risk-based approaches in the surveillance of
absent or emerging infectious diseases in cattle.
