The members of the Pestivirus gender have great antigenic similarity. The serological cross-reaction between the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) and the Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) usually interferes with Classical Swine Fever (CSF) eradications programs. This study focused on establishing the prevalence of antibodies for the BVDV in pigs of non-technified rearing farms, associate risk factors and use geospatial analysis tools to correlate positive herds. A set of 360 serum samples from 56 herds located in the northeastern region of the state of São Paulo were analyzed by the virusneutralization test (VN), using the genotypes BVDV-1 strain Singer and BVDV-2 strain VS253. During the sample collection, a questionnaire was applied to the farmers in order to obtain epidemiological information of the herd. 4,72% (17) of the samples were positive in the VN and 26,79% (15) of the herds had at least one positive animal. It was not possible to associate risk factors; however, the variable use of milk serum in the feed showed a tendency to be associated with the occurence of the disease. The Kernel intensity estimator showed three high risk of occurence areas, which were associated with the presence of bovine herds, medium quantity of piglets in the herd and medium size of total swine herd. The results highlight the importance of bovines in the prevalence of swine BVDV infections and the difficulties in diagnostic tests and CSF surveillance actions due to the serological cross-reaction between BVDV and CSFV antibodies
