The conglutinin titres of year-old Bonsmara-cross cattle infected with Cowdria ruminantium were inversely proportional to the severity of the reactions elicited by the infection. There was no correlation, however, between conglutinin levels of 8-month-old calves of the same breed, sex and origin and their susceptibility to heartwater. The role possibly played by conglutinin in the non-specific resistance of cattle to heartwater and in the epidemiology of the disease is discussed.
感染反刍动物考德里氏体的一岁博斯马拉杂交牛的胶固素效价与感染引发的反应严重程度呈反比。然而，同一品种、性别和来源的8月龄犊牛的胶固素水平与其对心水病的易感性之间没有相关性。本文讨论了胶固素在牛对心水病的非特异性抵抗力以及该病流行病学中可能发挥的作用。
