Four groups of lambs aged 1 week, 4 weeks, 1/2 year and 1 year old respectively were inoculated with Ehrlichia phagocytophila infected blood. Clinical signs, temperature reactions, haematological changes and parasitaemia were more moderate in lambs inoculated with E. phagocytophila at the age of 1 week than those recorded in the older animals. The clinical response to tick-borne fever (TBF) appears to be more severe with increasing age of the lambs. The lymphocyte reactivity to mitogens was reduced in the TBF infected lambs, and was most pronounced in lambs in the 3 older age groups.
分别将1周龄、4周龄、半岁和1岁的四组羔羊接种嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染的血液。与年龄较大的动物相比,1周龄接种嗜吞噬细胞无形体的羔羊的临床症状、体温反应、血液学变化和虫血症更为轻微。随着羔羊年龄的增长,对蜱传发热(TBF)的临床反应似乎更严重。TBF感染的羔羊对有丝分裂原的淋巴细胞反应性降低,在3个年龄较大的羔羊组中最为明显。
