Summary. Comparative hematological and biochemical studies in heifers at the age of 6–8 months with different epizootic background revealed that the persistence of the association of viruses (causative agents of bovine leukemia, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine parainfluenza-3, and bovine viral diarrhea) negatively affect the status of immunocompetent cells. As the cell number of the macrophage-neutrophil group increases by 25–37%, their functional activity decreases. Significant shifts in the state of protein metabolism, the development of immunosuppression, and intensification of lipid peroxidation processes occur in the bodies of the infected animals, indicating a decrease in the natural resistance of these animals. Significant difference in the intensity of the specific immune response in the vaccinated against pneumoenteritis of the viral etiology animals from BLV-free and BLV-positive farms has not been established.
