RESUMO
Pathological changes in respiratory tracts were studied in 30 calves following exposure to aerosols of Pasteurella multocida or to bovine herpesvirus 1 and P. multocida. Two groups of five calves were exposed to aerosols of one of two types of P. multocida only, which produced lobar pneumonia in one calf of each group. Another five groups of four calves were exposed to aerosols of bovine herpesvirus 1 and four to seven days later to one of the two types or one sub-type of P. multocida. Extensive necropurulent lesions were produced throughout the respiratory tract with each type of P. multocida in all four calves in three groups but none in the remaining two groups. The pathological changes differed from those produced following similar exposures to bovine herpesvirus 1 and P. haemolytica, in that the exudate in air passages and alveoli was more purulent and streaming (oat) cells and large mononuclear eosinophilic granulocytes were absent. This is the first report of experimental respiratory disease in cattle as a result of aerosol exposure to P. multocida alone or in combination with bovine herpesvirus 1.
