Review of BRD pathogenesis: the old and the new

Abstract: The pathogenesis of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is determined by a complex interaction of environmental, infectious, and host factors. Environment trends could impact feedlot cattle by increasing their level of stress. The polymicrobial nature of BRD produces synergies between infectious agents that can alter pathogenesis. However, the nature of the host response to these environmental and infectious challenges largely determines the characteristics of the progression and outcome of BRD.

“…Numerous commercial vaccines variably consisting of combinations of inactivated and modified live bacteria and viruses are widely used; however, the incidence of BRD has been increasing for the past several decades (USDA, 2011). The etiology of BRD involves interactions between the host, environment and pathogens (Mosier, 2014). Dogma posits that animal stress, often due to movement and animal management, predisposes cattle to a primary viral insult followed by secondary bacterial pneumonia due to commensal or exogenous pathogens.…”

“…Bovine respiratory disease is considered multifactorial, involving complex interactions between the animal, the pathogens and the environment, which poses significant challenges to its prevention and control (Murray et al, ). It is generally proposed that management practices such as shipping may compromise the immune system, and predispose the animals to viral and bacterial infections (Mosier, ). Viral infection can interfere with the immune system and damage the mucociliary escalator mechanism and lung parenchyma, which in turn facilitates translocation of bacteria and establishment of infection in the lower respiratory tract (Taylor, Fulton, Lehenbauer, Step, & Confer, ).…”

“…Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed causes of morbidity and mortality in the cattle industry (Edwards, ; McVey, ). Co‐infection with several viruses and bacteria, such as bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHeV1), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), bovine adenovirus 7 (BAdV7), bovine parainfluenza virus 3 (BPIV3), Mycoplasma bovis , Mannheimia haemolytica , Pasteurella multocida and Histophilus somni, causes the development of BRD in cattle (Hilton, ; Mosier, ). Despite the use of antibiotics and several commercial vaccines against these pathogens, BRD remains the most common and costly problem in the cattle industry.…”
