===[[Bovine Parainfluenza - 3 (PI-3)]]===
*Virulence varies with isolates
  −
*Cessation of [[Respiratory System General Introduction - Pathology#Mucociliary escalator|ciliary clearance]] and epithelial necrosis predisposes to secondary bacterial infections -> cough
  −
*May cause [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Parainfluenza- 3|rhinitis]] of cattle
  −
*With other agents causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|calf pneumonia ]]
  −
**Together with managemental factors (overcrowding, poor ventilation, high humidity, deprivation of colostrum and stress caused by transport or mixing of stock)
  −
*'''Diagnosis'''
  −
**Diseased lung tissue from dead animals or centrifuged cells from lung lavage
  −
**Virus is too fragile for cell culture isolation (often inactivated intransport)
  −
**Antigen detection by ''' immunocytochemistry''' for intracytoplasmic viral inclusions containing labelled viral protein
  −
**Serology: 4-fold rise in ELISA antibody in paired serum samples from several animals
  −
*'''Control'''
  −
**Improve managemental factors
  −
**All-in, all-out systems
  −
**Some vaccination
  −
***Temperature sensitive mutant that replicates at 34<sup>o</sup>C but not at 37<sup>o</sup>C
  −
***Re-infection is common
