“…Therefore, EB inoculation, which does not mimic the natural route of exposure of the agent, would seem to be an efficient method for studying the pathogenesis of BAV-3 and other respiratory infectious agents. 19,20 The lesions of adenoviral respiratory diseases in naturally and experimentally infected cattle 5,6,10,12,[14][15][16] and in dogs, goats, and other species 2,3,8,11,13,17 have included severe necrotizing bronchitis with necrosis of epithelial cells and intranuclear inclusion bodies. In the present study, the pneumonic lesions in calves infected with BAV-3 included moderate to severe necrotizing bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and alveolitis, characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of type 2 epithelial cells.…”
