BToV has been reported in 17 countries, such as China, the United States, Japan, with a worldwide geographical distribution. To provide a reference for BToV research, this review describes the latest research progress on BToV, including the biological characteristics, epidemiology, clinical symptoms and pathology, detection methods.

Key words: bovine torovirus, calves diarrhea, etiology, epidemiology, detection
