Abstract

Four control calves were aerosolized with parainfluenza-3 and one week later with Pasteurella haemolytica. Three calves were given Corynebacterium parvum at a dose of 15 mg/m2 body surface area, infected with parainfluenza-3 virus one week later, and aerosolized with P. haemolytica two weeks after C. parvum injection. All calves were killed four hours after P. haemolytica exposure and the bacterial retention in the lung was determined. Parainfluenza-3 viral infection did not exert any suppressive effect on pulmonary clearance of P. haemolytica in six out of seven calves used. However, the bacterial colony counts in the lungs of control calves were higher (P less than 0.05) than those in calves given C. parvum. Hence, C. parvum appeared to enhance bacterial clearance. Despite the marked influx of neutrophils into the lungs after the bacterial inoculation, the neutrophil:macrophage ratio in lavage samples was less in calves given C. parvum than in the control calves. The alveolar macrophages in C. parvum treated calves were generally larger but did not differ significantly (P less than 0.05) from those in the controls. There was no significant (P less than 0.05) correlation between the percentages of alveolar macrophages and the bacterial clearance. In calves given C. parvum, bacterial clearance was enhanced in those calves which had larger macrophages.
