Abstract
The genus Pestivirus belongs to the family Flaviviridae together with the genera Hepacivirus and Flavivirus. Members of the genus Pestivirus are bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDV-1 and BVDV-2), classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and border disease virus (BDV), all of which have a significant economic impact on farming worldwide. Because of their close relationship to Hepatitis C virus (genus Hepacivirus), pestiviruses are studied as a model for this important human pathogen.
