This virus is of the family [[:Category:Paramyxovirinae|paramyxoviridae]] and its virulence varies with isolates. Alone, this virus does not usually produce severe disease in cattle, but with other agents such [[Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus]], [[Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis]] and bacteria such as [[:Category:Pasteurella and Mannheimia species|''Mannheimia'']] and [[:Category:Mycoplasmas|''Mycoplasmas'']], makes up the [[Enzootic Pneumonia - Calves|enzootic pneumonia complex]] which mostly affects calves.
 
  
−
Occurence of the disease is usually thought to be due to stress such as mixing of animals of different age groups, transport and winter housing. Poor hygiene also contributes to this.

The virus causes cessation of [[Respiratory System General Introduction - Pathology#Mucociliary_escalator|ciliary clearance]] and epithelial necrosis, which predisposes to secondary bacterial infections and can leading to clinical signs. This occurs due to replication in airway epithelial cells causing an initial [[bronchitis]], which may lead to bronchiolitis and then extension into alveoli, causing [[Bronchointerstitial Pneumonia|bronchointerstitial pneumonia]]. Early stages may show intracytoplasmic inclusions and the resulting exudate is predominantly neutrophilic.

This virus may cause [[rhinitis]] of cattle when acting alone and with secondary infections may cause signs such as coughing and nasal discharge. If involved in calf pneumonia complex, then signs relating to that will also be seen such as dyspnoea, coughing, increased respiratory rate and general malaise.

**Re-infection is common
−
 
+
====Secondary Concerns====
−
Diagnosis can be made from diseased lung tissue from dead animals or centrifuged cells from lung lavage. The virus is too fragile for cell culture isolation (often inactivated in transport). Antigen detection by '''immunocytochemistry''' for intracytoplasmic viral inclusions containing labelled viral protein can be performed. Serology can also be performed and a 4-fold rise in [[ELISA testing|ELISA]] antibody in paired serum samples from several animals is indicative of the disease. A first, acute phase sample should be taken and another sample taken around 2 weeks after this (convalescent stage).

*With other agents causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|calf pneumonia ]]

*Associated with poor management:

−
Control measures include improving managemental factors, such as using all-in all-out systems, preventing mixing of groups of stock and increased ventilation in housing. Preventing overcrowding, humidity and stress are key factors. In calves it is important to ensure passive transfer occurs as a [[Failure of Passive Transfer|lack of colostrum]] will greatly increase the risk of disease.

Some vaccination does occur and is available in the UK. Immunity does not last and re-infection is common.
