Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) was first isolated in the United States in 1974 and recently has been identified as a major contributing agent in the Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) syndrome. It was named BRSV because this Pneumovirus invades the cell lining of the trachea and lungs and because it promotes the formation of large multinucleated cells called syncytial cells in the epithelium and interstitial spaces of the lung. BRSV appears to be widespread across the United States. 3, record 1, English, - bovine%20respiratory%20syncytial%20virus
