The Duration of Antibodies Against Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus in Bulk Milk

Study on duration of maternal antibodies in calves against Bovine Herpes virus (BHV-1)

In order to estimate the mean of maternal antibody in calves against BHV-1 (Bovine Herpes virus type 1), this study was carried out in a population of calves from non-vaccinated dairy cattle at 2 livestock in Qazvin province. One hundred thirteen sera out of 512 were collected from 1-4 months unvaccinated calves. We used Blocking –Percentage of maternal antibodies against BHV-1, which obtained ...

The occurrence of bovine virus diarrhoea/muscosal disease in Iran

A novel subunit ISCOM vaccine against bovine virus diarrhoea virus.

The preparation and preliminary testing of a subunit ISCOM (immunostimulating complex) vaccine against bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is described. Vaccination of calves with this vaccine yields high neutralising titres against a panel of Danish BVDV field isolates. The serological difference between virus isolates and vaccine strain selection is discussed.

Prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus antibodies in India.

A study was undertaken regarding the prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) antibodies in bovine sera which tested negative for rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants virus antibodies. The samples were collected between January 1996 and December 1997. A total of 439 samples (327 cattle and 112 buffalo from 17 states of India) were tested using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorb...

Epidemiology of bovine virus diarrhoea virus.

A better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) has emerged in recent years. Fetal infections and in particular those resulting in birth of persistently infected calves are of central importance for the epidemiology of BVDV. A prevalence of persistently infected, viraemic animals of about 1% is found in Denmark and elsewhere by examination of r...
