The isolation and characterization of a bovine respiratory syncytial (RS) virus is described. Serological studies indicate that bovine RS virus is widespread in Iowa cattle and that it is involved in some outbreaks of respiratory disease. Experimental infection in calves indicates that the virus can cause illness in calves, particularly those with serum neutralizing antibody.
