title: [Adenovirus infections of cattle].
abstract: Results are given of studies on the adenoviral infections in cattle in the region of Southeast Bulgaria. Serologic methods were used to elucidate some moments of the enzootic process and the part played by bovine adenoviruses in the etiology of the respiratory diseases of calves. Demonstrated was the participation of adenovirus strains of group II. It was established that the technologic moments influence the course of the adenoviral enzootics. A successful attempt was made to uncode the type picture and the circulation of types 1, 2, 3, and 8 adenoviruses within the cattle herds. The method of direct immunofluorescence was successfully employed in the diagnostics of adenoviral diseases in calves when alive. Demonstrated was also the presence of specific skin supersensitivity in cattle infected with adenoviruses. Data are given on the specificity of the reaction, the quality and standardization of the allergen, the age-associated dynamics of the process, etc.
