The Response of Normal and Iron Anemic Calves to Nasal Infection with an Attenuated Strain of Parainfluenza-3 Virus

Abstract

Calves with experimentally induced iron deficiency anemia and normal calves, both groups deprived of colostrum, were exposed to intranasal instillation of an attenuated parainfluenza-3 virus strain.

The calves became infected, but there was no difference in the clinical picture between the 2 groups of calves. Neither was there a difference in the humoral or local immune response to parainfluenza-3 virus.

Sammanfattning

Kalvar med experimentent framkallad järnbristanemi och normala kalvar infekterades intranasalt med en attenuerad parainfluensa-3 virus stam. Kalvarna hade ej tillätits dricka råmjölk.

Samtliga kalvar visade lindriga symtom på en infektion. Det var ej någon skillnad varken i det humorala eller i det lokala immunitetssvaret mellan de två grupperna.
