Infectivity of bovine adenovirus type 5 recovered from a polyarthritic calf with weak calf syndrome
Abstract:
Bovine adenovirus type 5, isolated from newborn calves with a polyarthritic disease known as "weak calf syndrome" caused a mild, self-limiting illness in susceptible calves. The induced illness was characterized by marked pyrexia and occasionally by mild diarrhea. It was concluded that the virus may contribute to morbidity and mortality associated with the weak calf syndrome by adding to the stress and debilitation caused by cold wet weather and by bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus, which has also been isolated from tissues of calves affected with weak calf syndrome.
