From Control to Eradication: The Role of Point-of-Care Testing in Modernising Australia's Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) Disease Management
2026
Overview
Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) is an infectious disease caused by the Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), a member of the genus
. The disease remains endemic across Australian beef and dairy production systems, imposing a multi-million-dollar annual burden on animal health, welfare, and industry sustainability. BVDV can be transmitted both horizontally and vertically, with persistently infected (PI) animals serving as the primary source of infection. Rapid identification and subsequent culling of PI animals are fundamental requirements for any successful eradication program. Currently, Australia's decentralised, non-compulsory approach places the responsibility of biosecurity on individual producers, resulting in a fragmented national landscape. This review proposes that the strategic deployment of rapid, field-deployable point-of-care (POC) diagnostics serves as the transformative catalyst needed for a coordinated national eradication pathway. POC approaches utilising technologies such as lateral flow assays, nucleic acid amplification tests, and biosensors enable real-time, crush-side diagnosis and high-throughput surveillance, proving effective for early detection and control of infectious diseases. When integrated with robust biosecurity measures and optimised vaccination strategies, these POC advancements offer a scientifically sound and commercially viable pathway toward the systematic eradication of BVDV in the Australian cattle industry.
