Acta vet. scand. 45, 193-200. – Pathogens causing bovine respiratory tract disease in Finland were investigated. Eighteen cattle herds with bovine respiratory disease were in- cluded. Five diseased calves from each farm were chosen for closer examination and tra- cheobronchial lavage. Blood samples were taken from the calves at the time of the in- vestigation and from 86 calves 3-4 weeks later. In addition, 6-10 blood samples from animals of different ages were collected from each herd, resulting in 169 samples. Serum samples were tested for antibodies to bovine parain?uenza virus-3 (PIV-3), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine coronavirus (BCV), bovine aden- ovirus-3 (BAV-3) and bovine adenovirus-7 (BAV-7). About one third of the samples were also tested for antibodies to bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) with negative re- sults. Bacteria were cultured from lavage ?uid and in vitro susceptibility to selected an- timicrobials was tested. According to serological ?ndings, PIV-3, BAV-7, BAV-3, BCV and BRSV are common pathogens in Finnish cattle with respiratory problems. A titre rise especially for BAV-7 and BAV-3, the dual growth of Mycoplasma dispar and Pas- teur
