Neutrophil-platelet interactions and their relevance to bovine respiratory disease.

Respiratory disease is a serious and significant health problem for the bovine industry. Classically, the clinical and research focus has been on the putative causative agents and conditions, and their interactions with host inflammatory cells, particularly alveolar macrophages and blood neutrophils. There is, currently, growing acceptance of the concept that blood platelets play a primary role in the inflammatory process. This review explores the implications of such pro-inflammatory activity, especially in the context of neutrophil-platelet interactions, and the species specificity of cellular responses. The relevance of these issues for the treatment and prevention of bovine respiratory disease is also discussed.
