The aim of the present study was to determine the association between Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) and reproductive failure in ewes from an enterprise peruvian central sierra. Four hundred and forty ewes were randomly selected from two counties and divided in two groups. The first group (n same 220) included barren and aborting ewes while the second group (n same 220) was formed by ewes that had no shown any of the problems noted above. Blood samples were collected from both groups for testing antibodies against BVDV using the virus neutralization test. Antibody titers to BVD virus were present in 69.5 + 4.4% (306/440) of the ewes. In the first group, 73.6 + 6.1% (162/220) of the ewes showed antibody titers to BVD virus; and 65.5 + 6.5% (144/220) in the second group. Ewes from both counties showed antibodies against BVDV. There was no association between ewes showing antibodies against BVDV and the presence (or absence) of reproductive failure (p greater to 0.05). Antibody titers to BVD virus in both groups ranged from 2 greater to 256. These results indicate that BVDV is widely spread in ewes from this enterprise and its role as a causative of reproductive failure during 2003 parturition is still to be determined.
