Abstract

Nasal ceils extracted from nasal swabs obtained from sixty four eattle with signs of
respiratory disease ,from 8 different herds, were testedfor Bavine adenoviruses subgroup J antigens
using direct immunojluorescence technique.
BAdV antigen positive samples were detected in two of eight herds examined. Of the 64 individua!
diseased eatt!e, three were found positive for BAdV subgroup J viral antigen ( 2/5 samples from one
herd. J /6 from the other).
The findings reveal that BAdVs may be an important causative agent in eattle respiratory disease and
direct immwzojluorescence technique as a rapid method, based on the detection of antigen in nasal
swab samples. has been used to establish the viral aetiology of acute respiratory disease caused
BAdVs subgroup J .
