[Seroepidemiologic studies of the agent of respiratory diseases in cattle].
In a period of three years epidemiological studies were carried out in Styria concerning the occurrence of antibodies against BRSV (Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus), Adeno I Species 3-Virus, Adeno II Species 8-Virus, PI-III (Parainfluenza 3-Virus), IBR/IPV-Virus and Chlamydia. A total of 1376 serum samples were examined and showed different titers of specific antibodies against respiratory pathogens. 449 blood samples were submitted to serological examinations in the year 1984, 525 in 1985 and 402 in 1986. Antibodies against BRSV could be found in 17.4% of the sera or in 55.9% of the herds. Specific antibodies against Adeno I Species 3 occurred in 33.9% of the sera resp. in 74.2% of the units. 35.2% of the cows or 80.1% of the herds showed positive SN-titres against Adeno II Species 8. IBR/IPV-specific antibodies were detected in 2.3% of the sera resp. 3.8% of the herds. Antibodies against Chlamydia could be found in 8.8% of the cows or in 22.6% of the units. In the years mentioned above significant differences of antibodies against BRSV, Adeno I Species 3, Adeno II Species 8 and Chlamydia could be observed, but not against PI-III and IBR/IPV as well. By means of the Chi-Square-Test significant differences between Simmentaler, Austrian Brown Cattle and Holstein Friesian regarding antibodies against IBR/IPV and Adeno II Species 8 could be found. No significant differences between the serological results of herds, which contained on of the three breeds could be observed.
