Abstract
Fall-weaned calves entering the feedlot experience a variety of psychological and physical stressors, including maternal separation, transportation, social mixing, restraint, and dietary changes. Mixing calves from multiple sources also exposes them to respiratory pathogens at a time when maternal immunity has waned. Using an experimental bovine respiratory disease (BRD) challenge, we analyzed the effects of specific stressors on clinical disease and immune responses following bovine herpes virus (BHV-1/IBR) infection of naïve calves. Transportation stress was compared to either abrupt weaning plus transportation or transportation following a two-step weaning process. Transportation alone significantly (P < 0.05) increased BHV-1 shedding in nasal secretions despite elevated interferon-gamma production in the upper respiratory tract. In contrast, abrupt weaning and transportation, significantly (P < 0.05) increased serum haptoglobin on day 3 post-infection (PI) and blood leukocyte tumor necrosis factor α secretion on day 5 PI. These systemic responses were reduced by instituting a two-step weaning process 4 days prior to transportation and BHV-1 infection. In conclusion, these observations are consistent with earlier studies implicating weaning and transportation as stressors contributing to BRD severity and mortality. Current studies also revealed that different stressors or combination of stressors have distinct effects on host responses to viral infection in naïve calves.

Abstract
Viral disease is one of the major causes of financial loss and animal suffering in today's cattle industry. Increases in global commerce and average herd size, urbanization, vertical integration within the industry and alterations in global climate patterns have allowed the spread of pathogenic viruses, or the introduction of new viral species, into regions previously free of such pathogens, creating the potential for widespread morbidity and mortality in naïve cattle populations. Despite this, no antiviral products are currently commercially licensed for use in bovine medicine, although significant progress has been made in the development of antivirals for use against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) and bovine herpesvirus (BHV). BVDV is extensively studied as a model virus for human antiviral studies. Consequently, many compounds with efficacy have been identified and a few have been successfully used to prevent infection in vivo although commercial development is still lacking. FMDV is also the subject of extensive antiviral testing due to the importance of outbreak containment for maintenance of export markets. Thirdly, BHV presents an attractive target for antiviral development due to its worldwide presence. Antiviral studies for other bovine viral pathogens are largely limited to preliminary studies. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge of antiviral compounds against several key bovine pathogens and the potential for commercial antiviral applications in the prevention and control of several selected bovine diseases.

Abstract
Acute phase and inflammatory responses are triggered by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic stressors that come at a cost through suppressing the normal function of tissues and organs of domestic animals. Recently, with growing attention placed on global warming and animal welfare, there has been an increased interest in improving our understanding of the relationships between different classes of stress, the expression of acute phase proteins (APPs), the stress-related endocrine system and immunomodulation. Immune function is compromised by all forms of stress including poor nutrition, weaning, extreme thermal conditions, injury and infection in calves. Proinflammatory cytokines, APPs and hormones of the hypothalamic–pituitary adrenal axis as well as the composition of immune cells can all be characterised in culture supernatants and peripheral blood. APPs have been used as biomarkers for the stress status of ruminants both experimentally and in field studies. Therefore detailed studies of the mechanisms of action of these APPs and their interactions in ameliorating different stress responses are warranted. The focus of this review is on the aetiology of the responses in calves under severe stress and its impact on growth and immune status. Possible strategies to alleviate this condition including the role of specific feed additives are presented.

Abstract
AbstractBovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) causes a variety of diseases and is globally distributed. It infects via mucosal epithelium, leading to rapid lytic replication and latent infection, primarily in sensory ganglia. Large amounts of virus can be excreted by the host on primary infection or upon recrudescence of latent infection, resulting in disease spread. The bovine immune response to BHV-1 is rapid, robust, balanced, and long-lasting. The innate immune system is the first to respond to the infection, with type I interferons (IFNs), inflammatory cytokines, killing of infected host cells, and priming of a balanced adaptive immune response. The virus possesses a variety of immune evasion strategies, including inhibition of type I IFN production, chemokine and complement binding, infection of macrophages and neutrophils, and latency. BHV-1 immune suppression contributes to the severity of its disease manifestations and to the bovine respiratory disease complex, the leading cause of cattle death loss in the USA.

Abstract
A variety of mechanisms contribute to the viral-bacterial synergy which results in fatal secondary bacterial respiratory infections. Epidemiological investigations have implicated physical and psychological stressors as factors contributing to the incidence and severity of respiratory infections and psychological stress alters host responses to experimental viral respiratory infections. The effect of stress on secondary bacterial respiratory infections has not, however, been investigated. A natural model of secondary bacterial respiratory infection in naive calves was used to determine if weaning and maternal separation (WMS) significantly altered mortality when compared to calves pre-adapted (PA) to this psychological stressor. Following weaning, calves were challenged with Mannheimia haemolytica four days after a primary bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) respiratory infection. Mortality doubled in WMS calves when compared to calves pre-adapted to weaning for two weeks prior to the viral respiratory infection. Similar results were observed in two independent experiments and fatal viral-bacterial synergy did not extend beyond the time of viral shedding. Virus shedding did not differ significantly between treatment groups but innate immune responses during viral infection, including IFN-γ secretion, the acute-phase inflammatory response, CD14 expression, and LPS-induced TNFα production, were significantly greater in WMS versus PA calves. These observations demonstrate that weaning and maternal separation at the time of a primary BHV-1 respiratory infection increased innate immune responses that correlated significantly with mortality following a secondary bacterial respiratory infection.

Abstract
The severity of bovine respiratory infections has been linked to a variety of
factors, including environmental and nutritional changes, transportation, and social
reorganization of weaned calves. Fatal respiratory infections, however, usually occur
when a primary viral infection compromises host defences and enhances the severity
of a secondary bacterial infection. This viral–bacterial synergy can occur by a number
of different mechanisms and disease challenge models have been developed to analyse
host responses during these respiratory infections. A primary bovine herpesvirus-1
(BHV-1) respiratory infection followed by a secondary challenge with Mannheimia haemolytica
results in fatal bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and host responses to these
two pathogens have been studied extensively. We used this disease model to
demonstrate that stress significantly altered the viral–bacterial synergy resulting in
fatal BRD. Functional genomic analysis revealed that BHV-1 infection enhanced toll-like
receptors (TLR) expression and increased pro-inflammatory responses which
contribute to the severity of a Mannheimia haemolytica infection. TLRs play a critical
role in detecting bacterial infections and inducing pro-inflammatory responses. It is
difficult to understand, however, how stress-induced corticosteroids could enhance
this form of viral–bacterial synergy. Nuclear translocation of the glucocorticoid
receptor activates cell signalling pathways which inhibit both TLR signalling
and pro-inflammatory responses. The apparent conundrum between stress-induced
corticosteroids and enhanced BRD susceptibility is discussed in terms of present data
and previous investigations of stress and respiratory disease.

Abstract
Studies in animals and humans link both physical and psychological stress with an increased incidence and severity of respiratory infections. For this manuscript we define stress as the physiological responses an individual undergoes while adjusting to a continually changing environment. It is known that stressors of various types (psychological/physical) can alter the physiological levels of certain hormones, chemokines and cytokines. These alterations send information to the central nervous system to take necessary action which then sends messages to appropriate organs/tissues/cells to respond. These messages can either activate or suppress the immune system as needed and failure to compensate for this by the body can lead to serious health-related problems. Little is known how stress affects disease susceptibility, yet understanding this mechanism is important for developing effective treatments, and for improving health and food quality. The current review focuses on (a) the effects of psychological stressors in humans and animals, (b) various methodologies employed to understand stress responses and their outcomes, and (c) the current status of the attempts to correlate stress and disease with respiratory disease as model system. The methodologies included in this review span traditional epidemiological, behavioral and immunological studies to current high throughput genomic, proteomic, metabolomic/metabonomic approaches. With the advent of various newer omics and bioinformatics methodologies we postulate that it will become feasible to understand the mechanisms through which stress can influence disease onset. Although the literature in this area is limited because of the infancy of this research area, the objective of this review is to illustrate the power of new approaches to address complex biological questions. These new approaches will also aid in our understanding how these processes are related to the dynamics and kinetics of changes in expression of multiple genes at various levels.

Abstract
Cytokines play a key role as regulators of the immune response. To elucidate whether the efficacy of a live virus vaccine can be improved by co-expression of cytokines, expression cassettes for bovine interleukins (boIL)-2, -4, -6, and -12 and bovine interferon-gamma (boIFN-gamma) were integrated into the glycoprotein E (gE)-locus of the bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) vaccine virus strain GK/D. Cell culture analyses demonstrated that expression of the cytokines did not impair the replication of the recombinant viruses. To test safety and efficacy, groups of 4-6 months old BHV-1 seronegative calves were vaccinated intranasally with the parental virus strain GK/D or the recombinants, and challenged intranasally 3 weeks later with virulent BHV-1. The animals were monitored for clinical signs, virus excretion and antibody status after vaccination and challenge. All vaccines were well tolerated and protected the immunised calves from clinical disease following challenge, and reduced duration and titres of challenge virus shedding. Calves inoculated with the boIL-6, boIL-12 and boIFN-gamma expressing recombinants showed a significant reduction in vaccine virus shedding but secreted more challenge virus than the other vaccinees. These findings indicate that expression of these cytokines mediates a better control of the vaccine virus replication which, however, interferes with the immunogenicity of the vaccine. In summary, all recombinant viruses were safe and effective, but protection afforded by the recombinants was not improved as compared to vaccination with the parental virus strain GK/D.

Abstract
Neutrophil emigration from the pulmonary vasculature, is mediated by cellular adhesion molecules (CAM) expressed on the outer membranes of endothelial cells and neutrophils. Although beta(2)-integrin-dependent migration is a major mechanism of neutrophil migration, which was demonstrated by extensive invasion of neutrophils in pulmonary tissue of calves suffering from a genetic deficit in expression of beta(2)-integrins, termed bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), the role of alternative CAM is still unclear. We investigated whether an alternate CAM for beta(2)-integrin function, i.e. the alpha(4)-integrin, was expressed on peripheral blood neutrophils of calves. As we detected basal but significant expression, the effect of naturally acquired pulmonary infection on the expression of either integrin was determined, as an indication for its function in the migration process. In our experiments, basal expression of alpha(4)-integrins on peripheral blood neutrophils from clinically healthy calves was detected. On neutrophils of calves, experiencing field outbreaks of enzootic bronchopneumonia, higher expression of the alpha(4)-integrin was detected, which returned to normal after successful treatment of the disease. In addition, its level of expression was linearly related to plasma acute phase protein (haptoglobin) concentrations, which is a sensitive parameter for severity of respiratory inflammation. Increased expression of the alpha(4)-integrin on peripheral blood neutrophils during pulmonary inflammation indicates a role for this CAM in neutrophil migration in the lung.

Abstract
For several years, interferon alpha-1, also known as interferon alpha-D, has been studied for treatment of various viral diseases, such as hepatic fibrosis caused by hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus keratitis, and bovine respiratory diseases in calves. Currently, recombinant human interferon alpha-D (rHuIFNalphaD) is expressed intracellularly in Escherichia coli or secreted by Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this report, we describe the process of obtaining a relatively high-yield secretion of biologically active recombinant rHuIFNalphaD using the Pichia pastoris system. The process produced as high as 0.7 mg of purified protein per 20 ml of shake culture of rHuIFNalphaD with better bioactivity than the commercially available rHuIFNalphaD molecule produced in E. coli.

Abstract
The efficacy of modified-live (MLV) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) vaccines and the correlates of vaccine-induced immunity were investigated in calves using a virulent experimental infection. Clinical disease and pulmonary pathology were significantly reduced, relative to unvaccinated controls, in calves vaccinated according to label directions with commercial multivalent MLV BRSV vaccines. In vitro assays of cellular immunity were more consistent correlates of vaccine associated protection than presence of post vaccination serum antibody. Most vaccinated calves shed virus, but peak virus titre was suppressed compared to unvaccinated controls, with clearance coincident with the simultaneous appearance of mucosal antibody, cytotoxic cells in the lung and anamnestic or primary serum antibody responses. Virus clearance in unvaccinated calves was coincident with the appearance of BRSV specific cytotoxic cells, before mucosal antibody was detected.

Abstract
The effect of vaccination with a formalin-inactivated, alum-precipitated (FI), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) vaccine on BRSV induced respiratory disease in calves was investigated. Six month old BRSV-naive calves were vaccinated with either a FI, a modified live virus (MLV), or virus antigen negative control vaccine (n = 4 per group). One month after the second vaccination, the calves were aerosol challenged with lung wash from a newborn calf infected with a field isolate of BRSV. Moderate to severe clinical disease occurred in all calves. Calves that received FI vaccine had a significantly earlier (day 2 vs. day 4-5) onset of pyrexia and dyspnea (P < 0.05). Pulmonary lesions, consisting of cranioventral atelectasis and dorsal emphysema, occurred in all groups. Two calves that received MLV, and three that received FI vaccine, had reduced pneumonic lung area relative to controls. Vaccination with the FI vaccine resulted in more rapid onset of clinical disease, but ultimately, reduced pulmonary pathology in most recipients.

Abstract
We studied the early immunity induced by a live glycoprotein E (gE) negative bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) marker vaccine. Three groups of specific-pathogen-free calves were either not vaccinated, or vaccinated two days or two hours before the introduction of a calf that was intranasally infected with wild-type BHV1 the day before. We quantified the shedding of gE-negative vaccine virus and of wild-type virus, using a double-staining immunoassay. In calves vaccinated two hours before the introduction of the infected calf, the shedding of wild-type virus was reduced, compared with that of the unvaccinated control calves. The shedding of wild-type virus was most significantly reduced in the calves that were vaccinated two days before: only very small amounts of wild-type virus were isolated. Wild-type virus was not detected at all in the samples from one of the five calves of that group. Furthermore, this calf was the only one in which we did not detect antibodies against gE. Hence, intranasal vaccination with a live gE-negative vaccine induced early immunity against a BHV1 contact infection. This suggests that this vaccine can be used efficaciously in the early stages of a BHV1 outbreak.

Abstract
The early stages of the host response to infectious agents include a number of physiologic changes, collectively known as the acute phase response. The acute phase response is comprised of reactions localized at the site of infection, as well as the initiation of systemic responses, which include a rapid increase in the serum concentration of some proteins, known as acute phase proteins (APP). Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we detected two APP of approximately 22 and 37 kDa molecular weight in sera obtained from cattle with bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Based on their presence in the sera of sick, but not normal animals, the molecular weights, N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis, and the ability to bind hemoglobin, we identified these proteins as the alpha and beta subunits of haptoglobin. The haptoglobin molecule and the alpha subunit were isolated from serum, purified, and used to produce monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. With these reagents, an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was developed to measure the concentration of haptoglobin in bovine serum. Using an experimental model of BRD induced by a sequential challenge of calves with bovine herpesvirus type-1 and Pasteurella haemolytica, we observed a temporal relationship between the increase in haptoglobin concentration in serum and the onset of bacterial infection. The haptoglobin concentration ranged from undetectable in the serum of most calves prior to challenge, to greater than 1 mg ml(-1) in over one-third of the calves at the height of disease. Furthermore, the concentration of haptoglobin was associated significantly with other measures of the severity of disease. Together, these results indicate that quantification of acute phase proteins in animals with BRD could be a valuable diagnostic and prognostic aid.

Abstract
Recombinant bovine interferon-alpha I1 (rBoIFN-alpha) has known antiviral and immunomodulatory effects which have been exploited to reduce clinical disease in a number of clinical situations including bovine respiratory diseases. A slow release rBoIFN-alpha formulation may be of value to reduce bovine respiratory disease under field conditions by extending the period of protection, and hence improving the prophylactic benefits of rBoIFN-alpha. In this report, we describe a formulation of rBoIFN-alpha in sesame oil containing calcium stearate which can successfully sustain the release of rBoIFN-alpha over an 8-day period. Recombinant bovine IFN-alpha could be measured in serum for 8 days following treatment with an initial burst of release 6 h after injection. After a single subcutaneous depot injection of 50 mg and 100 mg of rBoIFN-alpha, initial serum levels reached 12-15 ng/ml and 25 ng/ml respectively. Correlating with this burst of release, there was a decrease in the number of circulating CD4-CD8- gamma delta+ T lymphocytes, and a slight neutropenia. No alterations in other cell phenotypes tested (CD4, CD8, CD2, CD6, B cells, monocytes or MHC class II) were observed, nor were there changes in lymphokine activated killer (LAK), natural killer (NK) cell activity, or oxygen radical formation (assessed by reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium). However, despite the rapid and short-lived burst of rBoIFN-alpha, levels of 2-5 oligoadenylate (2-5 A) synthetase remained elevated for 8 days. The sustained increase of 2-5 A synthetase was not due to the high initial dose released during the burst 6-12 h after injection, since injection of a bioavailable equivalent dose of interferon induced a significant rise in 2-5 A synthetase activity for 4 days only. As 2-5 A synthetase is known to be a correlate of antiviral activity, we propose that this formulation of rBoIFN-alpha may be one approach to increase the window of protection, leading to more effective prevention of bovine respiratory disease.

Abstract
Recovery from infection involves a number of complex interactions between specific cells of the immune system. Many of these interactions are mediated by cytokines, which can activate these cells to kill or reduce the replication rate of the pathogen. Availability of large quantities of recombinant cytokines has provided the opportunity to investigate the mechanism or mechanisms of action of each cytokine in vitro and in vivo. In the present review, we describe the application of interferons to reduce morbidity and mortality of cattle suffering from bovine respiratory disease and mastitis. The potential application of interferons in disease modulation as well as the impediments to their use are discussed.

Abstract
Bovine leukocyte interferon (BoL-IFN), produced in bovine peripheral blood leukocytes after priming and induction with Sendai virus, was concentrated by precipitation with KSCN (pH 3.5) and purified by gel column chromatography. Recovery of BoL-IFN from precipitation was higher when crude BoL-IFN containing more fetal bovine serum (FBS) was used. However, purity of BoL-IFN recovered from the gel filtration column was highest when crude BoL-IFN with no FBS was used. The use of 25% ethylene glycol in the column elution buffer resulted in over 93% recovery of the applied IFN activity, versus only 25% when buffer contained no ethylene glycol. Column-purified BoL-IFN was further concentrated by ultrafiltration and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in denaturing buffer. When crude BoL-IFN containing no FBS was used for purification, BoL-IFN from a selected column fraction applied to SDS-PAGE resulted in a single narrow band with an apparent molecular weight (MW) of 19,000 Da. Extraction of the SDS-PAGE gel resulted in a single peak of IFN activity indicating identity of the activity and the polypeptide. This proved to be a practical method for obtaining sufficient quantities of purified natural BoL-IFN for use in the production of monoclonal antibodies to BoL-IFN and other biological experiments.

Abstract
A subunit vaccine in the form of immunostimulating complex (iscom) was prepared to contain the envelope glycoproteins of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1). This iscom preparation was tested in a vaccination experiment on 4-month-old calves seronegative to BHV-1. In this experiment, four groups with three animals per group were used. Two groups were vaccinated with the iscom preparation twice, four weeks apart, one group with 50 micrograms and the other with 100 micrograms per calf. The third group received a commercial inactivated whole-virus vaccine applying the same vaccination program. The fourth group served as control. Two weeks after the second vaccination, all the animals were challenge-infected intranasally with a virulent BHV-1 strain and four days later with a virulent Pasteurella multocida--this in order to mimic hard field conditions. When exposed to challenge infection, all the animals vaccinated with the iscom were fully protected, i.e., no virus could be recovered from their nasal secretions and no clinical symptoms were recorded. In contrast, the animals vaccinated with the commercial vaccine, responded to challenge with moderate fever and loss of appetite, and virus was isolated from the nasal secretions. The animals in the control group developed severe clinical symptoms. In the sera of iscom-vaccinated animals, the virus neutralization titers reached levels of 1/3500 or higher.

Abstract
Development of immunomodulators for use in food producing animals is an active area of research. This research has generally incorporated aspects of immunosuppression in model systems. This methodology is appropriate because most of the research has been aimed at developing immunomodulators for certain economically significant diseases in which immunosuppression is believed to be an important component of their pathogenesis. The primary focus has been on stress-associated diseases (especially bovine respiratory disease), infectious diseases in young animals, and mastitis. The model systems used have limitations, but they have demonstrated that immunomodulators are capable of significantly increasing resistance to these important infectious disease syndromes. As our understanding of molecular immunology increases and as more potential immunomodulators become available, the use of relevant model systems should greatly aid advancement in the field of immunomodulation.

Abstract
In this study we examined the direct effects of bovine herpesvirus-1 on the interaction of bovine blood neutrophils with Pasteurella haemolytica A1. Preincubation of neutrophils for approximately 2 h in vitro with BHV-1 at a multiplicity of infection of 5:1 had no effect on neutrophil random migration and directed migration to zymosan-activated bovine serum. Neutrophils also were unimpaired in their ability to ingest and kill P. haemolytica A1. Preincubation of neutrophils with BHV-1 did not elicit an oxidative burst, as measured by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence, nor did it alter neutrophil chemiluminescence in response to opsonized P. haemolytica A1. Prolonged preincubation with BHV-1 for 18-24 h similarly did not affect neutrophil chemiluminescence in response to opsonized P. haemolytica A1. The susceptibility of neutrophils to the lethal effects of crude P. haemolytica cytotoxin also was unaltered by preincubation with BHV-1. We observed no evidence of BHV-1 replication in bovine neutrophils as determined by indirect immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Previous reports have indicated that active BHV-1 infection alters certain neutrophil functions and results in hypersusceptibility to pulmonary pasteurellosis. Our results suggest that these effects are unlikely to be mediated directly by BHV-1, but instead may reflect the action of endogenous mediators that are released during active BHV-1 infection.

Abstract
In the present review we have identified how viruses can alter the host's susceptibility to bacterial infections by altering both environmental conditions in the lung which favor bacterial replication as well as by suppressing the host's defense mechanisms which prevent clearance of the bacteria. In many instances, these interactions are extremely complex but similar for many viruses. If the virus can overcome the initial host defense mechanisms, which include local antibody and mucus, the virus initiates tissue damage as a result of direct replication within the epithelial cells lining the mucosal surfaces of the respiratory tract. As a result of virus infection, the host cells respond by producing a variety of mediators including various types of interferons, which can alter both virus replication and host response. Replication also produces by-products of virus infection capable of initiating an inflammatory process, which in turn, through release of other mediators, can further modify lung defense mechanisms and encourage bacterial adherence and growth. The bacterium, in turn, releases chemotactic factors which encourage infiltration of specific effector cells into the lung. These effector cells can cause tissue damage and immunopathology, which encourage rapid bacterial growth and may result in death of the animal. In order to be able to control this complicated scenario, it is important either to prevent the initial infection with viruses or to reduce the degree of immunosuppression, so that bacterial clearance can occur rapidly before microcolony formation and extensive lung damage occur. Once a large amount of bacterial replication and lung damage is present, the use of antibiotics is generally of limited value. A schematic illustration of the complexity of the various interactions and counteractions occurring during virus--bacterial synergistic interactions is presented in Fig. 1.
