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

Vaccination of calves with a Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 antigen preparation elicited a serotype-specific inhibition of nasal colonization by P haemolytica under field conditions. Inhibition was evidenced by a low frequency of nasal colonizations and by relatively few P haemolytica serotype 1 organisms isolated from vaccinated calves. The study comprised 3 field trials, each on a separate year, and included 480 calves.  相似文献

In vitro studies, using disc diffusion and agar dilution techniques, were carried out to compare susceptibilities to selected antimicrobial agents of 30 isolates of Pasteurella haemolytica from healthy calves and 30 isolates from calves with transit fever. There was no difference in susceptibility patterns between isolates from healthy calves and isolates from diseased calves or between isolates of serotype A1 and isolates of serotype A2. Penicillin resistance was associated with production of beta-lactamase.  相似文献

Several modern electron microscopy techniques were used to examine Pasteurella haemolytica (biotype A, serotype 1) (strain B122) recovered from experimentally infected cattle and in situ within the lung tissue of experimentally infected cattle. Glycocalyx four to five times thicker than that seen on P. haemolytica grown in vitro was evident on bacterial cells recovered from live infected calves by pulmonary lavage. Fimbriae were also present on cells recovered by lavage. A thick glycocalyx was also seen on P. haemolytica-A1 within the lungs of experimentally infected cattle at necropsy. In summary, cells of P. haemolytica-A1 in experimentally infected cattle have fimbriae and glycocalyx on their cell surfaces and these structures appear to be important in bacterial colonization of the bovine respiratory tract and pathogenesis of shipping fever (Pasteurella) pneumonia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterize Pasteurella spp isolated from healthy pack goats and evaluate the effects of administration of a commercial Pasteurella vaccine. ANIMALS: 45 goats. PROCEDURE: Pharyngeal swab specimens and blood samples were collected on day 0 before vaccination with a Pasteurella (Mannheimia) haemolytica serotype A1 bacterin. Samples were also collected from 17 goats on days 21 and 35. Isolated Pasteurella spp were assigned to biovariant groups on the basis of results of biochemical utilization tests and serotyped. Serum antibody titers were determined. RESULTS: Multiple strains of Pasteurella spp were isolated from swab specimens and assigned to 30 nonhemolytic and 14 beta-hemolytic biovariant groups. The most common biovariant isolated was nonhemolytic P trehalosi belonging to group 2. This strain was isolated from 41 goats. Nonhemolytic P haemolytica strains were isolated from 31 goats, whereas beta-hemolytic strains of P trehalosi and P haemolytica were isolated from 8 and 35 goats, respectively. Vaccination with the A1 serotype did not affect the proportion of goats from which we isolated each biovariant group or the number of biovariant groups isolated. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Multiple strains of P haemolytica and P trehalosi belonging to nonhemolytic and beta-hemolytic biovariant groups were isolated from the pharynx of healthy domestic pack goats. Because hemolytic activity correlates with leukotoxin production, beta-hemolytic strains may have a greater potential to cause disease in naive populations of wild ruminants. However, vaccination with an A1 serotype bacterin did not decrease the proportion of culture-positive goats.  相似文献

Two groups of four calves were exposed to a poly-disperse aerosol of 1.3 X 10(4) to 16 X 10(4) colony forming units (CFU) of nalidixic acid resistant Pasteurella haemolytica type A1 litre-1 of air with a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 2.6 +/- 0.8 microns. One group of calves was kept at 5 degrees C, 72 per cent relative humidity (RH) and the second was subjected to an abrupt change in climate directly after aerosol exposure from 5 degrees C, 75 per cent RH to 13 degrees C, 84 per cent RH. Clearance of the organism from the respiratory tract of the calves was monitored over the subsequent 23 hours by a method of tracheal and nasopharyngeal swabbing. Clearance measured at the trachea in all calves in both groups was not a continuous, uninterrupted process but exhibited a temporary decline between eight and 14 hours. Calves subjected to an abrupt change in climate after aerosol challenge had raised respiratory rates eight to 14 hours later and P haemolytica proliferated in the nasopharynx over the entire 23 hours. There was no apparent effect of climate on P haemolytica in the trachea. It is suggested that rapid growth of P haemolytica accompanying a change in climate may be an important aetiological factor in pneumonic pasteurellosis of calves.  相似文献

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

Experimental production of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Pneumonic pasteurellosis has been reproduced in conventional, weaned, Friesian-cross calves using a strain of Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 (P haemolytica A1) isolated from a pathologically confirmed incident of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. The major clinical findings were pyrexia, hyperpnoea, tachypnoea, nasal discharge and reduced appetite. Fibrinous pneumonia was present in the lungs of animals at necropsy on days 2 and 3 after initial infection while by days 9 and 10 after initial infection many of the areas of fibrinous pneumonia were confined by a fibrous capsule forming well defined nodules. During the experiment natural transmission of the infecting strain of P haemolytica A1 occurred in two control calves which developed a condition identical to that in the artificially infected calves. P haemolytica A1 was repeatedly recovered from the nasopharynx of infected calves and at necropsy throughout the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Seroconversion, as measured by indirect haemagglutination, to the organism developed in all infected calves by days 9 and 10 after initial infection. The clinical, microbiological and pathological findings were identical to those seen in field incidents of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis involving recently housed, weaned, single-suckled calves.  相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 (S1) is the bacterium most frequently recovered from the lungs of cattle that have succumbed to shipping fever pneumonia. P. haemolytica outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are important immunogens in the development of resistance to pneumonic pasteurellosis. The purpose of this study was to identify the repertoire of immunogenic, surface-exposed P. haemolytica (S1) OMPs, that could be important in the development of protective immunity. We determined surface exposure of OMPs by (1) their susceptibility to protease treatment and (2) their ability to adsorb out antibodies from bovine immune sera. For a comprehensive identification of immunogenic, surface-exposed OMPs, we used bovine antisera from calves that were resistant to experimental P. haemolytica challenge after (1) natural exposure to P. haemolytica, (2) vaccination with live P. haemolytica, or (3) vaccination with P. haemolytica OMPs. We identified 21 immunogenic, surface-exposed P. haemolytica OMPs. Most were recognized by all three immune sera. However, some were recognized by one or two of the three antisera. Our analyses identified surface-exposed, immunogenic proteins that were not identified in previous studies.  相似文献

The prevalence of respiratory pathogens in diseased veal calves was determined in 24 respiratory disease outbreaks in 15 herds in Belgium. Bacteria were cultured from nasopharyngeal swabs and seroconversion against viruses and Mycoplasma bovis was determined on paired sera. At the individual calf level, Mycoplasma species, Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, were isolated from 70.5 per cent, 21.5 per cent and 26.0 per cent of swabs, respectively. At the herd level, the presence of M bovis could be confirmed in 84.6 per cent of the herds examined. Seroconversion against bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) was present in 71.4 per cent of herds, parainfluenzavirus type 3 in 53.3 per cent, bovine respiratory syncytial virus in 40.0 per cent, bovine adenovirus type 3 in 46.7 per cent, bovine coronavirus in 30.0 per cent, and bovine herpesvirus type 1 in 26.7 per cent. At postmortem examination, Mycoplasma species could be cultured from 61.9 per cent of pneumonic lungs (n=21). Sixty per cent of calves tested were positive for BVDV (n=20), and 20.0 per cent were positive for bovine respiratory syncytial virus (n=16).  相似文献

Three experiments were conducted on calves in which the efficacy of vaccination with live Pasteurella haemolytica in aerosol was tested by challenge with sequential aerosol exposure to bovine herpesvirus 1 and P. haemolytica. Neither single nor multiple aerosol vaccinations protected against the experimental disease. Macroscopically recognizable rhinitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis and pneumonia occurred in both controls and vaccinates. In one experiment as many as three aerosol vaccinations with live P. haemolytica for up to 20 minutes failed to elicit clinical signs in exposed calves. Pasteurella haemolytica was isolated less frequently from tissues of vaccinated calves than from those of nonvaccinated calves. Pasteurella haemolytica was isolated from deep nasal swabs of 4/14 vaccinated calves five and six days after viral exposure. It was concluded that although bovine herpesvirus 1 vaccination has been shown previously to prevent the experimental disease produced by bovine herpesvirus 1-P. haemolytica, live P. haemolytica vaccination by aerosol will not provide the same protection.  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

Distribution of Pasteurella haemolytica in the respiratory tracts of calves with no apparent clinical signs of illness and those infected experimentally with Dictyocaulus viviparus was determined so as to define carrier sites for this organism. The calves had been positive by nasopharyngeal swab for either P haemolytica A2 or A1 for at least two months or for over a month, respectively, before slaughter. P haemolytica A1 was acquired following horizontal spread from other infected calves. It was observed post mortem that P haemolytica A1 or A2 resided in the tonsils and retropharyngeal lymph nodes of calves of both groups. In addition to these sites, P haemolytica A1 was also isolated from the right cranial lung lobe of one of the calves from the D viviparus infected group although there was no evidence of pasteurella associated pneumonia. It was concluded that tonsil and retropharyngeal lymph nodes appear to be the most important carrier sites for P haemolytica when compared to other tissues of the bovine respiratory tract.  相似文献

Bacteria from the nasal cavity and trachea were cultured, and serum antibody titers determined for Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 in 164 beef calves obtained from a closed herd on range pasture. At the first sampling, P. haemolytica serotype 1 was cultured from 16.4% of the calves. Antibody titers were determined by a quantitative fluorimetric method and the mean titer was 9.5 +/- 5.8. Fifty-seven randomly selected calves were used to study the correlation of serum antibody response and positive culture of P. haemolytica under natural conditions. Clinical signs of respiratory disease were not observed in those calves. During the observation periods, there was a two-fold increase in the percentage of calves that were culture positive. There was no significant difference between mean serum antibody titers or frequency distribution of antibody titers from the two samplings. Comparisons between serum antibody titers, rise in titers, and P. haemolytica isolation failed to reveal any significant correlation. Of the 9 calves that had a decline in antibody titer to P. haemolytica, none was culture positive. Seroconversion to respiratory viruses did not correlate with P. haemolytica related variables.  相似文献

Immunoperoxidase technique was applied for pathological study on naturally occurring pneumonic tissues of calves from which Pasteurella haemolytica was isolated. Multifocal necrosis occurred in the lungs of 25 out of 42 calves (59.5%) and P. haemolytica antigen was detected in 22 out of the 25 calves (88.0%). The calves were divided into 3 groups according to the number of P. haemolytica isolated. The positive rate of the bacterial antigen detected by the technique was 66.6% (28/42) on the average, reaching up to 85.7% (18/21) in the group from which the largest number of P. haemolytica was isolated.  相似文献

Antibody titers to Pasteurella haemolytica A1 in Ontario beef cattle.   总被引：12，自引：7，他引：5       下载免费PDF全文
Indirect bacterial agglutination titers to Pasteurella haemolytica A1 were determined in serum, thoracic, pericardial, or peritoneal fluid from cattle necropsied as part of the Bruce County Beef Project in 1979-80 and 1980-81. Antibody titers were also assayed in serum from 84 calves on entry to feedlots in the fall of 1979. Titers on entry were low compared to antibody levels at necropsy. Cattle which died with pneumonia, in particular those dying of fibrinous pneumonia (shipping fever), had lower levels of antibody to P. haemolytica than did those dying of other causes.  相似文献

Barbour, E.K., Nabbut, N.H., Hamadeh, S.K. and Al-Nakhli, H.M., 1997. Bacterial identity and characteristics in healthy and unhealthy respiratory tracts of sheep and calves. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (6), 421-430The aim of this study was to compare different bacteriological aspects of the respiratory systems of healthy (H) versus unhealthy (UH) animals with respiratory signs. The prevalence of different bacterial species was determined in the upper and lower respiratory tract of H and UH Najdi sheep, Somali sheep and Holstein calves. The characteristics of Pasteurella spp. isolates, and the biotype of Pasteurella haemolytica were identified in H and UH animals. Eighteen out of 28 (64.3%) of the identified bacterial species in the upper respiratory tract were more prevalent in the nasal cavities of UH Najdi and Somali sheep and Holstein calves with respiratory signs than in apparently healthy animals; four of the most prevalent bacteria in the upper respiratory system of UH sheep were Moraxella spp., Pseudomonas pseudomallei, Erysipelothrix spp., and Pasteurella multocida, while three of the most prevalent bacteria in UH calves were Pasturella haemolytica, Actinomyces spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The prevalence of six different bacterial species was greater in the lungs of UH animals, namely Actinomyces pyogenes, Erysipelothrix spp., P. haemolytica, Pasteurella ureae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, which could be risk factors in the complexity of the prevalent respiratory diseases of the animals surveyed.Of the biochemical, cytological and colonial characteristics studied in the identified P. haemolytica and P. multocida, two characters were significantly different (p < 0.05) in organisms isolated from UH as compared to those from H animals. These were the higher loss of haemolytic power by the strains of P. haemolytica and the decreased fermentation of trehalose by all the strains of P. multocida recovered from healthy animals.The only biotype of P. haemolytica isolated from H animals was biotype A, while both biotypes A (88.0% of the isolates) and T (12.0% of the isolates) were recovered from UH animals.  相似文献

Cell-mediated immune mechanisms may play a role in the pathogenesis and prevention of pneumonia in cattle caused by Pasteurella haemolytica serotype A1. To determine the circumstances required to stimulate and identify cell-mediated immune responses, calves were vaccinated with a commercial P. haemolytica bacterin or a live commercial P. haemolytica vaccine, or were infected intratracheally with virulent P. haemolytica. All calves were challenge-exposed intratracheally with P. haemolytica 31 d after vaccination or prior infection. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and mediastinal and superficial cervical lymph node cells were stimulated with antigens prepared from P. haemolytica to evaluate in vitro proliferative responses and gamma-interferon production as measures of cell-mediated immunity. Strong proliferative responses and gamma-interferon production were detected in lymph node cells from calves vaccinated with the live vaccine and from infected calves, especially in response to stimulation with an outer membrane protein preparation from P. haemolytica. Greater proliferative responses and gamma-interferon production were associated with the lymph node nearer the site of bacterin administration (superficial cervical lymph node) or the site of infection (mediastinal lymph node), whereas greater proliferative responses and gamma-interferon production were associated with the more distant lymph node (mediastinal lymph node) in calves vaccinated with the live vaccine. Neither proliferative responses nor gamma-interferon production were detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from calves that were vaccinated for or infected with P. haemolytica. Antileukotoxin antibody titers were determined by a serum neutralization assay, and protection against pneumonic lesions was more closely correlated with antileukotoxin antibody responses than with lymphocyte proliferation or gamma-interferon responses.  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

Nasal passages of calves with a virus-induced respiratory tract disease became colonized by Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 after they were inoculated intranasally with P haemolytica. Inoculation with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus caused a more severe clinical illness and resulted in a greater degree of colonization with P haemolytica than developed after inoculation with parainfluenza-3 virus. Nasal passages of parainfluenza-3 virus-inoculated calves were colonized to a greater degree with P haemolytica than were those of healthy, nonstressed calves. Calves were susceptible to P haemolytica colonization during or shortly after virus-induced illness, even though they had been previously exposed to P haemolytica and had serum antibody and nasal secretion antibody to P haemolytica.  相似文献
