[Alpacasite] Dr. Tibary and BVDV

Copied from the most recent ARI BOD meeting minutes:

"Dr. Tibary then discussed the status of the Bovine Diarrhea Virus (BVDV)
problem. He said that current lab tests for the virus are difficult to interpret,
especially considering the fact that there are many “persistently infected
animals” (“PIs”) who may not test positive for the virus and who are the most
dangerous agents of the virus’s transmission. He urged us to support research
in this area."

Has anyone talked with or otherwise heard more of Dr. Tibary's understanding
of BVDV and alpacas? I'm especially interested in "...current lab tests for
the virus are difficult to interpret.." as I was not aware of that.
