Project was focused on the critical analysis of BVD control programmes which are used in EU. Scientific data were summarized in the book Vilček, Š. et al.: Bovine viral diarrhoea – Control programmes, principles and practical experience. This book describes the experience for BVDV eradication programmes in selected countries following personal reviews with international and Slovakian specialists for BVD control programmes. Basic principles of the first BVD control program for Slovakian cattle farms were also presented in the book. Genetic typing of BVDV isolates from Slovakia, Austria and Russian Federation extended our knowledge on molecular epidemiology of BVD. These data were incorporated into education process at University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice.
