Healthy nonstressed calves were inoculated intranasally with or subjected to aerosol exposure to Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1. Only 4 of 28 calves harbored the bacterium in enough numbers to be isolated from the nasal passages for more than 7 days. After apparent clearing from the nasal passages, 8 calves were inoculated intranasally with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus; 2 of these calves shed the P haemolytica during clinical illness due to the virus. The remaining 20 calves were aerosol-exposed to parainfluenza-3 virus; 6 of these calves shed P haemolytica during clinical illness due to the parainfluenza-3 virus.  相似文献

The present study was undertaken to investigate whether sequential exposure to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus followed by Pasteurella haemolytica, or P. haemolytica followed by parainfluenza-3 virus, could lead to the production of pulmonary lesions in conventionally-raised calves. Twenty male calves with low serum antibody titres to both organisms were placed in five equal groups. Synergism of parainfluenza-3 virus and P. haemolytica was not demonstrated in any of the sequentially infected groups and pulmonary lesions were mild in all challenged calves. Clinical signs of disease were not present after exposure to parainfluenza-3 virus although the virus was repeatedly isolated from nasal secretions of all inoculated calves. Exposure to P. haemolytica produced a transient response which consisted of increased rectal temperatures and respiratory rates, with a mild neutrophilic leukocytosis and a mild left shift present six hours postinoculation and returning to normal within 24 hours. Results from this study suggest, although do not confirm, that reduced pulmonary clearance of inhaled P. haemolytica in parainfluenza-3 virus infected calves does not necessarily lead to production of severe pulmonary lesions and that previous exposure to aerosols of P. haemolytica may not enhance secondary parainfluenza-3 virus infection.  相似文献

Tonsils of 10 calves were inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica (PH) and the degree of colonization was followed by collecting sequential tonsil. wash specimens. Tonsils were colonized for at least 3 weeks after instillation of PH into the tonsillar sinus. Calves with colonized tonsils responded with serum and nasal secretion antibody responses to PH and to leukotoxin. Pasteurella haemolytica was detected in nasal mucus specimens of 2 calves during the week after inoculation of the tonsils, but all other specimens were culture-negative. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus-induced respiratory tract disease 25 days later did not elicit a population increase of PH in the tonsils, and did not elicit shedding of PH in nasal mucus.  相似文献

Ninety-three calves comprising 16 experimental groups were exposed to viral (bovine herpesvirus-1 or parainfluenza-3 virus) and Pasteurella haemolytica aerosols. Serum samples from these calves were tested before and after exposure for antibodies to P haemolytica by a modified direct complement-fixation test. At slaughter of the calves, the extent of pneumonia produced was estimated for each calf and compared with the results of the modified direct complement-fixation tests. The extent of pneumonia was not related (P greater than 0.05) to the amount of anti-P haemolytica antibody produced by either naturally occurring or experimentally induced infection.  相似文献

Four healthy calves were inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 by instillation of a broth culture into the middle nasal meatus of the left nostril. Four weeks later, calves were exposed to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by aerosol into both nostrils. All calves became ill, from approximately day 3 through day 10 after virus exposure, and shed increased amounts of nasal mucus. Two calves were induced to shed P haemolytica by the virus infection, and 2 calves required reinoculation with P haemolytica for nasal passages to become actively colonized. Elastase activity in nasal mucus increased about 15-fold within 3 days and peaked about 60-fold over baseline by 7 days after virus exposure. Activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, a measure of cell damage and serum leakage, increased slightly by day 3 and reached plateau on day 5, almost threefold over baseline activity. Protein and carbohydrate content increased at a rate similar to that of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase activity with about 12-fold and sixfold increases, respectively. None of the variables returned to baseline by 19 days after virus exposure. Increased elastase activity preceded colonization by P haemolytica and decreasing elastase activity preceded decreasing P haemolytica concentration in the nasal secretions. A causal relation between elastase activity and P haemolytica colonization could be mediated by cleavage of epithelial cell surface fibronectin and exposure of receptors.  相似文献

Immunity against pneumonic pasteurellosis was studied in calves after recovery from experimental respiratory disease with Pasteurella haemolytica. Nine calves were exposed to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus and Pasteurella haemolytica A1 six days apart to produce respiratory disease. After recovery from the disease, these nine principal and four control calves were challenged with aerosols of bovine herpesvirus 1 and P. haemolytica A1 four days apart. With this viral-bacterial challenge, the nine principal animals failed to develop clinical responses to this bacterial challenge and their lungs did not show the growth of P. haemolytica on cultures, whereas two of four control calves had elevated temperatures and developed necropurulent pneumonia with the isolation of P. haemolytica from the lungs. The principal calves had developed high levels of cytotoxin neutralizing antibodies in their sera following parainfluenza-3 virus-P. haemolytica infection. This demonstrated that immunity against pneumonic pasteurellosis can be achieved, with a suggestion that further search for an effective vaccine for P. haemolytica is warranted.  相似文献

Eight healthy nonstressed calves were inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1, by instilling a broth culture into the middle nasal meatus of the left nostril. The inoculated left nostrils shed P haemolytica from the ventral nasal meatus at a steady rate for a mean of 7 days, whereas the uninoculated right nostrils of the same calves shed P haemolytica sporadically and in lower concentrations. The duration, frequency, and concentration of P haemolytica shed from the inoculated nostrils was significantly (P less than 0.05) greater than from the nostrils of other healthy calves that had been exposed by instilling the culture into the ventral nasal meatus of both nostrils in a previous study. The concentration of antibodies (IgG, IgA, and IgM) to P haemolytica increased significantly (P less than 0.05) in serum and nasal secretions after exposure. Four weeks after initial P haemolytica exposure, calves were exposed to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and became clinically ill. Four calves were induced to shed P haemolytica from both nostrils by the virus infection; thus, they were harboring the bacterium and were susceptible to active recolonization. Four calves were not induced to shed P haemolytica. The apparent reason was not that they were resistant to active colonization, but that they were no longer harboring the bacterium, because they became active shedders after they were reinfected with P haemolytica.  相似文献

Four control calves were aerosolized with parainfluenza-3 and one week later with Pasteurella haemolytica. Three calves were given Corynebacterium parvum at a dose of 15 mg/m2 body surface area, infected with parainfluenza-3 virus one week later, and aerosolized with P. haemolytica two weeks after C. parvum injection. All calves were killed four hours after P. haemolytica exposure and the bacterial retention in the lung was determined. Parainfluenza-3 viral infection did not exert any suppressive effect on pulmonary clearance of P. haemolytica in six out of seven calves used. However, the bacterial colony counts in the lungs of control calves were higher (P less than 0.05) than those in calves given C. parvum. Hence, C. parvum appeared to enhance bacterial clearance. Despite the marked influx of neutrophils into the lungs after the bacterial inoculation, the neutrophil:macrophage ratio in lavage samples was less in calves given C. parvum than in the control calves. The alveolar macrophages in C. parvum treated calves were generally larger but did not differ significantly (P less than 0.05) from those in the controls. There was no significant (P less than 0.05) correlation between the percentages of alveolar macrophages and the bacterial clearance. In calves given C. parvum, bacterial clearance was enhanced in those calves which had larger macrophages.  相似文献

Exposure of colostrum-deprived calves and calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus resulted in signs of infection, leukopenia, and shedding of virus from the nasal passages. However, infection was not as severe in calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody as it was in colostrum-deprived calves which did not have antibody to PI-3 virus before they were exposed. All calves responded immunologically to PI-3 virus, as indicated by resistance to challenge exposure and subsequent development of virus-neutralizing antibody. However, levels of serum and nasal secretion (NS) antibody at 30 days after viral exposure were lower in calves with colostrally acquired maternal antibody than in colostrum-deprived calves, and a serum antibody response in the former was primarily indicated by an anamnestic response after challenge exposure. After calves were challenge exposed to PI-3 virus, serum and NS antibodies were increased in all calves, but antibody titers were generally lower for calves that had colostrally acquired maternal antibody before their exposure than for those that acquired antibody only after PI-3 viral infection.  相似文献

In four experiments, 22 calves were exposed to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus, followed by Pasteurella haemolytica at intervals of three to 13 days. The purpose of each experiment was to study viral-bacterial interactions in the respiratory tracts. Two experiments, in which the viral aerosols were diluted by the addition of air, produced sporadic temperature elevations while two experiments with undiluted viral aerosols produced consistent temperature elevations. Diluted viral aerosols produced lobular sized lesions in the lungs and hemagglutinating inhibition antibodies in sera, whilst undiluted aerosols produced a synergistic effect in the form of purulent pneumonia in ten of 14 calves when the interval between viral and bacterial aerosols was from three to ten days. Histopathological changes attributable to the virus only were seen in all experiments, and the histopathological changes due to mixed infection of parainfluenza-3 virus and P. haemolytica are described in detail. This is the first report of extensive purulent pneumonia in calves after parainfluenza-3 virus and P. haemolytica exposure. This was achieved using much smaller inocula than in experiments previously reported.  相似文献

Six groups of ten beef calves six to eight months of age were shipped from western Canada and observed untreated for one week after arrival. The following parameters were measured daily: body temperature, plasma fibrinogen, nasal bacterial mean colony counts of Pasteurella hemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, total and differential leukoyte counts, packed cell volumes and the following, twice during the week: serum and nasal antibody titres to P. hemolytica and parainfluenza-3 virus. The lungs from 44 of the calves were obtained at post mortem and given a numerical score based on the degree of pneumonia present. Animals were designated SICK and WELL according to body temperature and plasma fibrinogen. The SICK animals had higher nasal mean colony counts of P. hemolytica than the WELL animals. The SICK animals had lower levels of serum antibody to P. hemolytica than the WELL on day 1 but had a greater rise in titre over the week than did the WELL animals. Both groups were similar with regard to serum antibody to parainfluenza-3 virus and there was little change in these titres. The SICK animals had a much greater degree of pneumonia than the WELL. The values of some of the parameters were combined with the data of previously studied animals in order to provide a comparison of SICK and WELL with larger numbers of animals.  相似文献

Using 6- to 8-month-old beef calves, 3 experiments were conducted to compare the effect of vaccination with live or killed Pasteurella haemolytica on resistance to a transthoracic challenge exposure with the organism and to correlate serum antibody response with resistance. In each experiment, calves were vaccinated twice at 1-week intervals and were challenge exposed 21 days after the first inoculation. Lung lesions were evaluated by a system, such that higher scores indicated the more severe lesions. In each experiment, calves immunized with live P haemolytica had lower lesion scores than calves vaccinated with saline solution or bacterin. In 2 of the experiments, the differences were significant (P less than 0.05). In all experiments, calves vaccinated parenterally with a commercial P haemolytica/P multocida bacterin or with a formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterin had lesion scores that were not significantly different (P greater than 0.05) than for control calves vaccinated with saline solution. Live and killed bacterial preparations induced a significant serum antibody response to P haemolytica as measured by a quantitative fluorometric immunoassay. The antibody response to vaccination was not affected by preexisting titers to P haemolytica. Serum antibody titers were not consistently as high for calves vaccinated with bacterins as for calves vaccinated with live organisms. Although high antibody titers correlated with low lesion scores when calves vaccinated with saline solution or live organisms were analyzed collectively, there was not a significant correlation between the 2 variables when calves, vaccinated with saline solution or with bacterin, were analyzed collectively. These data indicate that, although bacterins may induce a detectable serum antibody response, they do not induce protection against transthoracic challenge exposure to P haemolytica.  相似文献

A live Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine efficacy trial   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
A live Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 vaccine was used in an efficacy trial conducted on 100 lightweight feeder calves purchased from a Florida ranch. Forty-one calves were inoculated with the vaccine intradermally in the neck. Fifty-nine calves served as nonvaccinated controls. Fourteen days later, the calves were shipped to an order buyer in eastern Tennessee, where the calves were mixed with 60 local calves in a community sale barn for 72 hours. After 3 additional days, the calves were shipped to a research feedlot in Bushland, Tex. They remained in the feedlot for 56 days, and the test was concluded 76 days after vaccination. The P haemolytica vaccine had no significant effect on performance, morbidity, or mortality. There was no significant difference between the vaccinated and nonvaccinated calves in the number of times Pasteurella was isolated. The calves became seropositive to bovine viral diarrhea virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus during the 76-day experiment. All calves initially were seropositive to parainfluenza-3 virus. A virulent outbreak of IBR occurred 30 days after the calves arrived at the feedlot. Before the onset of IBR, the isolation of P haemolytica serotype 1 from nasal turbinates was rare (2 of 500 nasal swabs). After the IBR outbreak, P haemolytica serotype 1 was isolated from 40 of 92 calves.  相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus infection in transported calves   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Nasal swab samples were collected from calves on individual farms in Tennessee and sequentially at an auction barn and at a feedlot to detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In 1976, RSV was isolated from 5 of 225 calves at the auction barn and from 13 of 92 calves examined at the feedlot. Of the 13 isolations, 11 were from calves with acute respiratory tract disease. Most (14/18) calves infected with RSV were also shedding parainfluenza-3 virus in their nasal secretions. Attempts to isolate RSV in the 1977 study were unsuccessful, but there was serologic evidence of RSV infection. Most calves had serum antibody to RSV when examined initially at the farm or at the auction barn. Approximately 46% (46/99) of calves in the 1976 study and 71% (40/56) of calves in the 1977 study had a greater than or equal to 4-fold increase in serum antibody titer to RSV from auction barn to feedlot sample collection.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the serum antibody response to Pasteurella haemolytica lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for calves vaccinated with saline solution, a formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterin, or live P haemolytica. Bacterin-vaccinated calves had a lower antibody response to LPS than did calves vaccinated with live P haemolytica. Calves vaccinated with either saline solution or the bacterin were more susceptible to intrapulmonic challenge exposure with P haemolytica than were calves vaccinated with liver organisms. Serum antibody responses to P haemolytica LPS did not seem important for resistance to challenge exposure, because there was no significant correlation (P greater than 0.05) between the lung lesion score and antibody response to P haemolytica LPS. There was a highly significant correlation (P less than 0.001) between antibody detected against P haemolytica LPS and that against formalin-killed P haemolytica. Competitive binding studies indicated that P haemolytica LPS is a major antigenic determinant on the surface of P haemolytica. There did not seem to be substantial cross-reaction between LPS from P haemolytica and that from Escherichia coli (serotype O26:B6).  相似文献

Whenever a 'new' disease is discovered and the putative agent responsible is isolated, it has been customary to attempt to reproduce the disease in similar animals under controlled experimental conditions. If an identical syndrome is produced, then the agent is considered to be responsible for producing the field disease. As early as 1892, Nocard did just that in relation to bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis (shipping/transit fever). His work however, appears to have escaped the attention of many subsequent workers. In the 1930s many workers attempted to reproduce the disease with crude preparations obtained from either sick or dead animals, but most of them failed. After 1950 several agents (bovine herpes virus 1 [BHV1], parainfluenza-3 virus [PI3] and mycoplasmas) were isolated from cases of shipping fever in North America. These, together with physical stress, were thought to be involved in the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, with pasteurellae playing the role of secondary invader. Many experimenters then used multiple agents in different combinations, but their degree of success in reproducing the disease was variable. Greater success was achieved when P haemolytica A1 was given to calves four days after exposure to BHV1. This success, although only moderate, reinforced the concept of the secondary role of pasteurellae. After 1977 however, it became increasingly clear that P haemolytica A1 was capable of causing the disease as a primary pathogen, provided that two conditions were fulfilled. First, the calves had to be susceptible, that is, non-immune, and secondly, P haemolytica A1 in the logarithmic growth phase had to be administered to the trachea or lungs in numbers greater than 5 x 10(9) colony forming units.  相似文献

The antibody responses to the capsular carbohydrate (CC) purified from Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 were determined by an ELISA, using 135 sera from 6 calves vaccinated with phosphate-buffered saline solution, formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterins, live P haemolytica, or an extract of P haemolytica referred to as carbohydrate-protein subunit (CPS). Calves vaccinated with live P haemolytica, bacterins, or CPS developed serum antibodies to CC. Bacterins containing Freund incomplete adjuvant or Freund complete adjuvant induced higher antibody responses than did bacterins containing aluminum hydroxide. In 4 of 6 experiments, high antibody responses to CC were significantly (P less than 0.05) correlated with resistance to transthoracic challenge exposure with P haemolytica. When calves were challenge exposed with a dose of P haemolytica that was 4.5 times greater than the standard challenge exposure dose or when calves that had been vaccinated with CPS were challenge exposed, antibody responses did not significantly (P greater than 0.05) correlate with resistance to challenge exposure. The amount of serum antibodies to CPS increased significantly (P less than 0.05) when calves were vaccinated with live or killed P haemolytica or with CPS, compared with that in calves given saline solution. In 5 of 6 experiments, correlation between high antibody responses and resistance to challenge exposure was significant (P less than 0.05). The correlation between those variables was not significant (P less than 0.07) for CPS-vaccinated calves. In the ELISA, treatment of CPS with sodium m-periodate, to oxidize periodate-sensitive carbohydrate epitopes, failed to markedly alter the antibody response to CPS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Experimental intranasal inoculation of cattle with Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 resulted in a group that shed the bacteria in their nasal secretions (colonized) and a group that did not shed (uncolonized). After inoculation, antibody titers in serum and nasal secretions against the total P haemolytica increased significantly, and the proportions of total antibody against specific P haemolytica antigens changed so that the proportion directed against the 94- and 62-kD antigens increased. Prior to inoculation, the proportion of total antibody in the serum against 94- and 62-kD antigens of P haemolytica was higher in calves that remained uncolonized than in those that became colonized with P haemolytica after exposure. Antibody specificity of serum and nasal secretions differed in the relative amounts directed against each P haemolytica antigen. The specificity against P haemolytica antigens differed between IgG and IgA isotypes of serum and nasal secretions, with IgA being directed against fewer antigens than was IgG.  相似文献

A streptomycin-dependent, live Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine was given in 1 or 2 doses to 2 groups of weaned calves; 2 other groups of calves were not vaccinated. All calves in the vaccinated groups and calves in 1 of the nonvaccinated groups were stressed by transport, intratracheally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus type-1 (Cooper strain), and then intratracheally inoculated with P haemolytica type A1. The 4th group of calves (nonvaccinated controls) was not stressed and were not intratracheally inoculated with virus or bacteria. Mean daily weight gains, total clinical sign scores, lung lesion scores, plasma fibrinogen concentrations, and antibody titers against P haemolytica were determined at various intervals. Calves that had been vaccinated twice had greater mean daily weight gains and lower total clinical sign scores and lung lesion scores than did nonvaccinated, challenge-exposed calves, but the difference was not significant (P greater than 0.05). Calves vaccinated once had the greatest mean daily weight gains, the lowest total clinical sign scores, and the lowest lung lesion scores when compared with the other 2 challenge-exposed groups of calves. Mean daily weight gains and total clinical sign scores of calves vaccinated once were significantly different (P less than 0.05) than those of calves vaccinated twice. Nonvaccinated, nonchallenge-exposed control calves did not develop clinical signs of disease, did not develop lung lesions, and had consistently positive daily weight gains, and had scores in these areas that were significantly different (P less than 0.05) from those of all challenge-exposed groups of calves. Increases in plasma fibrinogen concentrations corresponded to infection with P haemolytica.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
