Abstract: | Viruses are thought to facilitate bacterial infections of the respiratory tract. The present study shows the effect of BHV-1 on Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica adherence and invasion of MDBK cells. The virus-infected MDBK cells become more susceptible to the adherence of both species of Pasteurella. The observed adherence increase depends on the length of virus pre-incubation time and on virus concentration. When MDBK cells are not infected with virus, they are only invaded by P. multocida, while M. haemolytica is not able to penetrate. The viral infection favours also the invasion by M. haemolytica. |
