A severe, naturally occurring enteric disease of cattle in which adenovirus
inclusions are present in the intestinal vascular endothelium has been
recognized in several countries; three different adenovirus serotypes have
been isolated from affected animals. An in situ hybridization technique for
the detection of bovine adenoviral DNA was developed and applied to tissue
from 13 cattle in Northern Ireland diagnosed to have the disease. Bovine
adenovirus serotype 10 (BAV-10) was identified in the vascular inclusions
of all cattle, providing strong evidence that adenoviral enteric vascular
disease in cattle is associated with this serotype. The existence of BAV-10
has only recently been recognized. The first molecular biology-based
technique for the diagnosis of BAV-10 infection is described. The animals
in the present study are the first in which BAV-10 has had a confirmed role
in a pathologic process.
