   −
*Causative agent [[Paramyxoviridae|Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)]], synonym: bovine RSV (BRSV)
  −
*Outbreaks of RSV associated disease usually occur associated with winter housing
  −
*Gross pathology in severe cases
  −
**Cranioventral [[Lungs Ventilation - Pathology#Atelectasis (Collapse)|atelectasis]] and consolidation
  −
**[[Lungs Ventilation - Pathology#Emphysema|Interstitial emphysema]]
  −
***More prominent in the caudal lung lobes
  −
***Results from bronchoconstriction which results in airway obstruction - this constriction is thought to arise from [[Mast Cells|mast cell]] degranulation and histamine release
  −
*Histologically
  −
**[[Bronchi and Bronchioles Inflammatory - Pathology#Acute bronchitis/bronchiolitis|Acute bronchiolitis]], characteristic of the bronchiolar response is the formation of syncytial giant cells  (formed by proliferating bronchiolar epithelial cells which may contain [[Degenerations and Infiltrations - Pathology#Cellular Inclusions|intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies]]), alveolar epithelium sometimes affected
  −
**Obstruction of bronchioles by exudate - these may later become obliterated by the fibrous tissue of organisation
  −
*May contribute to [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|Enzootic pneumonia of calves]]
