Mycoplasma (M.) bovis hyperimmune serum was subcutaneously injected to 16 of 26 calves repeatedly intranasally infected with M. bovis, during and/or after experimental infection. Antibody titres between 1:32 and 1:256 were recorded by means of indirect haemagglutination from the calves treated. Transmission of film-inhibitory antibodies failed to work. Neither clinical manifestations nor pathologico-anatomic alterations to the lungs of experimentally infected animals were mitigated by hyperimmune serum treatment. M. bovis, in high germ counts, was re-isolated from nasal swabs, trachea, pulmonary lymph nodes, and inflammatory lung tissue of both treated and untreated calves.  相似文献

Striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) were exposed to challenge virus standard rabies virus by feeding infected mouse brain in suspension or as intact brain free choice, by forced feeding of suspension, and by intranasal, intratracheal and intraintestinal instillation of suspension. All of five skunks exposed intranasally, two of five exposed intratracheally and two of ten exposed by forced feeding developed rabies. None of the skunks exposed to challenge virus standard virus, by other methods, became rabid. Most of the survivors, when challenged intramuscularly with street rabies virus at six months, developed rabies. The results indicate that the skunk is much more susceptible to challenge virus standard rabies virus given intranasally than by the other methods used. When disease occurs following oral administration, infection may be associated with prolonged contact with buccal mucosa or accidental contact with nasal mucosa. Survivors had little or no protection when challenged intramuscularly with street rabies virus.  相似文献

Bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein D (gD) gene expression by recombinant replication defective human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5) was investigated in calves using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy (IIFM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and RT-PCR. One fold intranasal instillation of HAdV-5-expressing gD in the cattle upper respiratory tract showed a short term expression of at least 5 days, but not 10 days, limited only to epithelial cells localised in the epithelium of the nasal mucosa in one out of six calves. Observed limited gene transfer into well differentiated cattle airway epithelial cells must be taken into consideration in order to enhance transfection efficiency, and consequently the vaccine potential of this vector.  相似文献

  1. The study was designed to investigate the replication of a re-assortant H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) and induction of the interferon (IFNγ) response after aerosol or intranasal inoculation with the virus in guinea fowl. To determine virus shedding pattern, oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs and tissue specimens of trachea, lungs, spleen and caecal tonsils were collected post-inoculation (pi).

  2. Infected guinea fowl showed mild clinical signs, while negative control guinea fowl remained healthy and active throughout the experiment irrespective of the inoculation route. However, the clinical signs were more prominent in guinea fowl infected through the aerosol route.

  3. Virus was detected in all oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs up to 7 d pi in guinea fowl from both inoculation groups. However, virus was detected more frequently and in higher titres in oropharyngeal swabs and specimens of trachea and lungs from the group exposed to aerosols than in the group given intranasal drops.

  4. In accordance with viral replication findings, expression of IFNγ was up-regulated on 1, 2 and 4 d pi to a significantly higher level in lung tissue specimens from the group exposed to virus aerosol than from controls treated with PBS intranasally. On the other hand, IFNγ was up-regulated above that of controls in lung tissue specimens from the group treated with intranasal drops of virus only on 4 d pi.

  5. These findings indicate that virus administered in aerosols was more efficient in infecting the lower respiratory tract and in inducing activity of the IFNγ gene than virus administered as intranasal drops. The results of this study suggest that virus aerosols cause more intense respiratory infection and increase the shedding of the H9N2 AIV in guinea fowl, highlighting the potential role of guinea fowl as a mixing bowl for transmission and maintenance of H9N2 AIV between poultry premises.

Two experiments were conducted. In the first, 16 crossbred Hereford calves were divided into two equal groups. The first group was vaccinated intranasally with a commercial vaccine against bovid herpesvirus 1 and the second group was unvaccinated. The calves were later exposed to an aerosol of bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) for five minutes. Four calves from each group were subjected to transportation and four calves from each group were kept in an environmental chamber for four days. Four days after viral aerosol all calves were exposed to an aerosol of Pasteurella haemolytica and the same subgroups were again transported or held in the chamber for a further four days.

The calves that did not die from pneumonia were necropsied ten days after the final day of transport. Pulmonary lesions were present in both vaccinated and control animals but were less extensive in the vaccinated calves. Six of eight vaccinated but none of the eight control calves survived.

In the second experiment, eight crossbred Hereford calves were divided into two equal groups. One group was vaccinated with bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) and the other acted as controls. Four weeks later all calves were sequentially exposed to aerosols of bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) and P. haemolytica four days apart. Three of the four controls but none of the vaccinates died from pneumonia. Every lobe of the lungs in all the controls was affected by pneumonia while no pulmonary lesions were found in the vaccinated calves. The differences in efficacy of the modes of vaccination and the possible role of transport stress are discussed.

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 efficacy of intranasal vaccination in preventing or limiting disease of the lower respiratory tract induced by parainfluenza 3 (PI3) virus was evaluated under experimental conditions, using a commercially available live vaccine containing a temperature-sensitive strain of PI3 virus. In a preliminary study four colostrum-deprived calves were vaccinated intranasally at one week and again at two months of age, and two similar calves were given an intranasal placebo. After the second vaccination serum antibodies to PI3 virus were detected in all four vaccinated calves, but not in the control animals. Seventeen days after the second vaccination all six calves were challenged with virulent PI3 virus, and they were killed six days later. The clinical scores and the extent of pulmonary consolidation were reduced in the vaccinated animals; PI3 virus was detected in the upper and lower respiratory tract of the control calves but in none of the vaccinated calves. In a larger scale study with 14 colostrum-fed calves, seven were vaccinated at one week and again at five weeks of age, and seven were given an intranasal placebo. Two weeks after the second vaccination all 14 calves were challenged with virulent PI3 virus. The clinical scores and lung consolidation were significantly reduced in the vaccinated calves in comparison with the controls. Six days after infection, 10 of the 14 calves were killed; PI3 virus was detectable in the nasal secretions of all seven control calves but in only one of the vaccinated animals, and PI3 viral antigen was detected in the lungs of the control calves but not in those of the vaccinated animals. One of the vaccinated calves had developed a severe clinical response after the challenge, but it had only minor lung consolidation when killed.  相似文献

Biodegradable microparticles are an efficient mucosal delivery system that protect antigens from the harsh mucosal environment and facilitate their uptake by M cells at the epithelium of mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. In this study, we determined the systemic and mucosal immune response in calves following intranasal and oral immunization with pig serum albumin (PSA) encapsulated in alginate microparticles. The size of the particles ranged from 1 to 50 microm in diameter, with 95% of the particles being smaller than 5 microm. High levels of anti-PSA IgG1 antibodies were found in the serum, nasal secretions, and to a less extent in saliva of calves vaccinated intranasally, but not orally, with PSA-microparticles. There was no significant increase of PSA-specific IgA. A weak lymphocyte proliferative immune response was observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and few anti-PSA antibody-secreting cells (ASC) were detected in the blood of calves immunized intranasally. The combined systemic and mucosal response observed in intranasally immunized animals may be attributed to the wide variation in the size of the alginate microparticles, with smaller particles translocating to regional lymph nodes and inducing a systemic immune response, and larger particles being retained in the NALT and inducing a mucosal immune response. The procedure presented here may be useful as an intranasal vaccine against respiratory diseases in cattle.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of sterile fine dust aerosol inhalation on antibody responses and lung tissue changes induced by Mucor ramosissimus or Trichoderma viride spores following intratracheal inoculation in goats. ANIMALS: 36 weanling Boer-Spanish goats. PROCEDURES: 6 goats were allocated to each of 2 M ramosissimus-inoculated groups, 2 T viride-inoculated groups, and 2 control (tent or pen) groups. One of each pair of sporetreated groups and the tent control group were exposed 7 times to sterilized fine feedyard dust (mean+/-SD particle diameter, <7.72+/-0.69 microm) for 4 hours in a specially constructed tent. Goats in the 4 fungal treatment groups were inoculated intratracheally 5 times with a fungal spore preparation (30 mL), whereas tent control goats were intratracheally inoculated with physiologic saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (30 mL). Pen control goats were not inoculated or exposed to dust. Goats received an IV challenge with equine RBCs to assess antibody responses to foreign antigens. Postmortem examinations were performed at study completion (day 68) to evaluate lung tissue lesions. RESULTS: 5 of 7 deaths occurred between days 18 and 45 and were attributed to fine dust exposures prior to fungal treatments. Fine dust inhalation induced similar lung lesions and precipitating antibodies among spore-treated goats. Following spore inoculations, dust-exposed goats had significantly more spores per gram of consolidated lung tissue than did their nonexposed counterparts. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Fine dust inhalation appeared to decrease the ability of goats to successfully clear fungal spores from the lungs following intratracheal inoculation.  相似文献

An experiment was designed to evaluate the clinical, haematological, viral and serological aspects of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection in calves. Eleven calves were inoculated intranasally with bovine respiratory syncytial virus (Quebec strain) in aerosol. Clinical, haemotological and serological responses of the calves and virus shedding were monitored. The experimentally infected animals manifested moderate to severe signs of respiratory disease. The parameters used to evaluate the severity of the disease included ocular discharge, conjunctivitis, lung sounds, nasal discharge, pyrexia and leukopenia. The animals were scored accordingly (scale infected 70.8-148.5, control 22-29.3). Highest disease scores were observed between day 6-9 after infection. Virological and serological assessment demonstrated that the observed clinical picture was due to bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection.  相似文献

Infection of seronegative Welsh mountain ponies was established by intranasal instillation or exposure to nebulised aerosol of egg grown H3N8 viruses. Pyrexia and coughing were noted following intranasal instillation and high titres of virus were recovered from the nasopharynx. Exposure to aerosol resulted in more severe clinical signs characterised by high temperatures, dyspnoea, anorexia and coughing; lower levels of virus were recovered from the nasopharynx. The severity of clinical signs and the kinetics of virus shedding were dose-related with the minimal infectious dose being 10(2)EID50/ml when ponies were exposed to aerosols produced by nebulisation of 20ml allantoic fluid. Full clinical signs only developed when ponies were exposed to a dose of 10(6)EID50/ml. It was concluded that exposure to nebulised aerosols of egg grown H3N8 viruses was a more reliable method of inducing clinical influenza than intranasal inoculation and would be more suitable for challenge studies.  相似文献

Nineteen strains of Pasteurella spp., but no viruses cytopathogenic for bovine embryonic kidney cells were isolated from pneumonic lesions present in “normal” veal calves at slaughter.

In studies on two herds of native cattle and six lots of western feeder calves, Pasteurella spp. were isolated from nasal swabs from healthy cattle and those with shipping fever. Viruses of the psittacosis-lymphogranuloma group were isolated from nasal swabs from animals in five groups. Viruses provisionally identified as bovine enteroviruses were isolated from nasal swabs of calves in two lots.

There was serologic evidence of a temporal association of myxovirus para-influenza 3 (PI3) with shipping fever in three lots of calves. From two of these three lots, strains of PI3 were isolated from ten animals, four of which had clinical shipping fever at the time of virus isolation.

Aspects of respiratory tract immunity have been investigated in the bovine species. Using Past. hemolytica type I as the antigen for this model the relationship of nasal and serum antibody production to the route of vaccination and type of vaccine was investigated in a series of 15 dairy calves from two to four months of age. Experimental results indicated that an aerosol vaccination with live Past. hemolytica resulted in a significant nasal antibody response while parenterally vaccinated gave calves with equivalent serum titers had no significant nasal antibody response.  相似文献

The onset of protection offered by intranasal vaccination with attenuated bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) was studied in 18 calves given a virulent BHV-1 aerosol challenge inoculum and an aerosol challenge exposure to Pasteurella haemolytica. Calves challenge exposed with virus 3, 7, 11, 15, or 19 days after vaccination and challenge exposed 4 days later with Pasteurella haemolytica did not develop viral-bacterial pneumonia, whereas 2 of 3 control calves died of fibrinous bronchopneumonia 40 and 60 hours after the bacterial aerosol and the 3rd control calf had similar lesions. All vaccinated and control calves had detectable amounts of interferon at the time of viral challenge exposure. Protection was observed before detection of neutralizing antibodies to BHV-1 in nasal secretions or in serum. Protection was therefore present from day 3 through day 19 after vaccination, but the mechanism could not be explained completely by neutralizing antibody or interferon.  相似文献

Nine 2-year-old heifers having BAd3-neutralizing antibody titers between 1:120 and 1:1080 were individually exposed intranasally to an aerosol of 10(8) pfu of wild type (wt) bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAd3). Four animals were kept as non-inoculated controls. The heifers were examined daily for rectal temperature, weight gain/loss, nasal and ocular discharges, and other clinical signs for 10 d post-inoculation. None of the animals showed any sign of clinical disease. Virus excretion was observed in one animal only on Day 3 post-inoculation. All BAd3-inoculated heifers demonstrated a significant (P < 0.005, paired t-test) rise in BAd3-specific serum IgG, IgG1, or IgG2 ELISA titers and virus-neutralizing antibody titers compared to the titers before inoculation. All virus-inoculated animals demonstrated increased levels of BAd3-specific IgA ELISA titers in nasal secretions. These results suggest that in the presence of circulating BAd3-neutralizing antibodies, intranasal inoculation of cattle with wt BAd3 would result in inapparent infection.  相似文献

Summary

Clinical signs, virus excretion and immunofluorescence in nasal smears were studied in nine susceptible steers during a two week period, following intranasal expo‐sure with IBR‐virus. All animals responded with fever (ay. 3.9 days) and nasal discharge. IBR‐virus was isolated from nasal swabs from 1 to 11 days after exposure (ay. 10 days), whereas fluorescence in nasal smears was observed from the second till the seventh day after infection (ay. 5.5 days).

Fluorescence was most distinct 3 to 5 days after infection, which coincided with the period of fever and a serous nasal discharge. Smears from animals with a mucopurulent or slightly haemorrhagic nasal discharge were nearly always negative. For a reliable diagnosis on live animals by immunofluorescence, it is necessary to take nasal smears from several healthy looking animals with fever and a slight, preferably serous discharge. Air dried smears should be fixed in acetone within 24 hours. Seven yearlings were autopsied 3 to 11 days after intranasal exposure and subjected to a detailed investigation by the cryostat‐immunofluorescence technique (IFT). The tonsils of all animals were positive, followed in declining frequency by the larynx, namharynx, nasal mucosa, and pharyngeal mucosa. Besides the organs already mentioned, fluorescence was often observed in the lungs and tracheal mucosa of animals that had suffered a fatal infection of IBR in the field. The tonsils should be regarded as the organ of choice. Fluorescent foci were localized in the epithelial lining of the tonsillar crypts and in the surface epithelium of the mucosae. The direct IFT on nasal smears of suspected animals and on cryostat sections of tissues collected at autopsy offers veterinary laboratories with no facilities for tissue culture a possibility of a rapid and reliable diagnosis of IBR infections.  相似文献

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus was rapidly cleared from the nasal mucosa of calves after intranasal aerosol exposure. Nonimmune calves (experiment 1) cleared 10(9) plaque-forming units (PFU) of virus from the nasal mucosa in less than 4 hours and 10(6) PFU of virus in 1 hour. An eclipse phase followed the clearance of viral inoculum. Replicating virus was first detected at 9 hours. Viral titers increased stepwise until maximum was attained on postinoculation day 4. Virus persisted in the nasal mucus until day 12. Clinical signs of disease corresponded with the shedding of virus. In contrast to nonimmune calves, immune calves (experiment 2; same calves as in experiment 1, but 30 days after initial exposure) cleared 10(9) PFU of virus in 1 hour and 10(6) PFU of virus in less than 5 minutes. An abortive reinfection occurred after exposure of immune calves with 10(9) PFU of virus. Virus was first detected in these calves at 14 hours after exposure and was not detected beyond 24 hours after inoculation. Immune calves given 10(6) PFU of virus did not shed virus after clearance of inoculum. Clinical signs of infection were not observed in immune calves after viral challenge exposure. The date indicated that there was no detectable residual virus beyond 3 hours after the exposure.  相似文献

The influence of pulmonary edema, hydrocortisone, immunization against Pasteurella hemolytica and concurrent infection with parainfluenza-3 virus upon pulmonary clearance of aerosolized P. hemolytica was studied in 31 calves. Following the various treatments calves were challenged with an aerosol of P. hemolytica. One control calf was killed immediately after the aerosol and the numbers of bacteria in the lung taken as 100%. Two calves were killed four hours after challenge and the numbers of bacteria in the lungs were compared to the 100% of the control calf. The result was the percentage clearance of bacteria at four hours.

Pulmonary edema was induced by three different methods: by an aerosol of histamine, by intravenous injection of endotoxin and by intravenous injection of croton oil emulsion. The edema impaired the clearance of P. hemolytica, which was reflected in high numbers of P. hemolytica present in the lungs at four hours after challenge: 260% after histamine, 300% and 400% after endotoxin and 92% after croton oil.

Six days of treatment of four calves with high doses of hydrocortisone acetate produced inconsistent results: two calves treated with a higher daily dose (36 mg/kg) had normal clearance whereas two calves treated with a lower dose had pulmonary edema and displayed lowered clearance with 111% and 31% respectively of P. hemolytica retained in the lungs four hours after challenge.

Immunization of calves by three different methods, a subcutaneously injected bacterin of P. hemolytica (2 calves), single aerosol (2 calves) and four aerosols (4 calves) of live P. hemolytica was reflected in an accelerated pulmonary clearance of P. hemolytica (with a mean of 1.55% of bacteria retained at four hours).

Concurrent infection with parainfluenza-3 virus did not lower the clearance of P. hemolytica in the lungs of 12 calves over 15 days except on the first day following the exposure to parainfluenza-3 virus. These calves had hemagglutinating antibodies against P. hemolytica before exposure.
