RNA of Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was found in peripheral leukocytes and nasal mucosa of infected cows by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR). We suppose that this finding obtained in the convalescent phase of infection indicates possible persistence of the virus in cells of the immune system.
