Q

2 hit theory of BRDC

A

presumed that the animal is hit first with a viral infection which causes damage to the upper respiratory defences, allowing opportunistic infection of the upper and lower respiratory tract with normal resident respiratory bacteria

Q

on histology, a characteristic feature of mannheimia pneumonia is the presence of

A

“oat cells” - mannheimia haemolytica produces a leukotoxin that causes neutrophils to lyse (fall apart), forming streams of nuclear material from the neutrophils that apparently looks similar to oats on histology
