A histological, histochemical and immunohistological study of the respiratory tract of 83 slaughtered goats (50 adults and 33 kids) is described. Cilia-associated respiratory (CAR) bacillus was detected by means of the Warthin Starry method in the tracheal epithelium of seven (21.2%) of the kids and 16 (32%) of the adult goats. A chronic diffuse tracheitis characterized by mixed lymphocyte and plasma-cell infiltration was found in all seven kids and in 17 adults, including the 16 infected with the CAR bacillus. Although not proved, it is possible that the CAR bacillus caused the chronic tracheitis. Immunohistochemical results suggested that the caprine CAR bacillus was closely related to the rabbit CAR bacillus.
本文描述了对83只屠宰山羊（50只成年羊和33只羔羊）呼吸道进行的组织学、组织化学和免疫组织学研究。通过Warthin Starry法在7只（21.2%）羔羊和16只（32%）成年山羊的气管上皮中检测到纤毛相关呼吸道（CAR）杆菌。在所有7只羔羊和17只成年羊中发现了以淋巴细胞和浆细胞混合浸润为特征的慢性弥漫性气管炎，其中包括16只感染CAR杆菌的羊。虽然未经证实，但CAR杆菌有可能导致了慢性气管炎。免疫组织化学结果表明，山羊CAR杆菌与兔CAR杆菌密切相关。
