Viral infection leads to inhibition of function and cell death.
The development of safe and effective vaccines depends on the understanding of how these infections effect each stage of the immune response, outlined herein.ĭifferential infection of upper and lower respiratory epithelia and subsequent bacterial colonisation. This is a major challenge for vaccination development, as discussed in the second half of this review. As BRDC is a multifactorial disease, co-infections work in feedback loops to enhance viral and bacterial replication, adherence, toxicity, and persistence. Once BRDC infections reach the LRT, they are often persistent and difficult to resolve due to the unique immunosuppressive and immune avoidant mechanisms exhibited by each agent.
In BRDC, there is a shift in this homeostatic balance in the URT which results in colonisation of the LRT. Key immune mechanisms, such as mucus production and ciliated epithelial movement, actively prevent the colonisation of pathogens in the lower respiratory tract (LRT). In healthy cattle, there exists a delicate balance between these potentially pathogenic bacteria and the commensal microflora of the upper respiratory tract (URT). Many of the bacterial agents that are associated with BRDC are present in bovine nasal passages, without illness, the most common being Mycoplasmas and Mannheimia haemolytica. It is worth noting however that several additional pathogens have been implicated in the development of BRDC (for example adenovirus, coronavirus, influenza D, Mycoplasma bovis and Trueperella pyogenes ), although these will not be discussed in detail in this review. This review however summarises the mechanisms of immune evasion reported for each major BRDC pathogen and the current issues in the development of effective vaccines. The exhibition of clinical signs, times of shedding, and seroconversion of each pathogen has also been outlined by Grissett et al. Whilst there are preventative vaccines and antibiotic treatments available against several common BRDC agents, the specific pathogens involved in individual cases of BRDC are often unknown, meaning prioritising a vaccination regime is difficult.īRDC has been thoroughly reviewed previously the immune response has been reviewed in detail, with the developments of the last decade outlined by McGill & Sacco in 2020. These factors can induce a transient immunosuppressive state which allows for colonisation of pathogenic bacteria and virus replication. The infectious agents involved in BRDC are opportunistic and often enhanced by stressors such as weaning, overcrowding, mycotoxins from food contamination, along with fluctuations in temperature, humidity, air, lighting, and sound. The risk of infection and the severity of disease is determined by the infectious agents involved, their immunogenicity, genetics and microflora of the host and external environmental factors. BRDC is also potentially responsible for up to 70% morbidity and mortality rates in US feedlot cattle. A recent study estimated costs up to USD 42.15 per affected calf. BRDC is the costliest disease in the beef industry and is the biggest cause of mortality in calves aged one to five months in Ireland, accounting for between 30 and 34% of deaths in this age group. BRDC is a multifactorial disease caused by both bacterial and viral infections, with high rates of re-infection.
