Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is an infectious disease considered to be an important cause of reproductive losses in cattle. The objective of this study was to determinate the effect of elimination of carrier animals on the seroconversion against BVDV of the new generation of animals of a dairy farm from the Arequipa region. 204 sera samples were taken, divided into four sampling periods, january (n=73), june (n=48) and october 2003 (n=48), and also january 2004 (n=35). BVDV seroprevalence was 80,83 ± 9,03% (59/73) for january; 56,25 ± 14,03% (27/48) for june; 50,00 ± 14,15% (24/48) for october 2003 and 22,86 ± 13,91% (8/35) for january 2004, using viral neutralisation test. Were also found 2,74% (2/73) persistently infected (PI) animals in january 2003, using an antigen-capture ELISA test. However, there was not found any PI animals in the subsequent samplings. There was an incidence of BVDV infection of 23/100 calves/heifers per month (13/21) for the june to october 2003 period, 5/100 (3/24) for the october 2003 to january 2004 period and 12/100 (24/59) for the january 2003 to january 2004 period. Logistic regression showed that elimination of PI animals in january 2003 reduced the infection risk for the subsequent sampling periods. It also showed that age was a risk factor for VDVB infection. The results showed BVDV infection is highly prevalent in herds that have PI animals and that their elimination leads to reduce the infection risk of their herd mates. Due to these findings, it is recommended to identify PI animals through serological tests and to eliminate them as a first approach to the control and eradication of BVDV in intensive management dairy herds.
