USDA Panel Evaluates Cattle Vaccine Test

Genomic Selection in Dairy Cattle: The USDA Experience.

Genomic selection has revolutionized dairy cattle breeding. Since 2000, assays have been developed to genotype large numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at relatively low cost. The first commercial SNP genotyping chip was released with a set of 54,001 SNPs in December 2007. Over 15,000 genotypes were used to determine which SNPs should be used in genomic evaluation of US dairy cat...

Immunogenicity of BHK-Rabies Vaccine in Cattle

In this study, the immunogenicity of a rabies vaccine that was used in one of the Isfahan cattle farms is reported. This vaccine was produced by replication of the Pasteur virus (PV) strain on BHK-21 monolayer cell culture. The virus suspension was inactivated by ß-propiolactone treatment and the harvested pool showed sterility and safety. Thus, the obtained vaccine was tested on mice and a sat...

Immunizalion of Cattle with Clostridium chauvoei Vaccine

Baltimore to head new vaccine panel.

Ontario, who was the principal investigator in the CAPRIE study, says that "When they started this study in 1988, there was clear evidence from a number of published studies that antiplatelet drugs, particularly aspirin, prevented stroke ... in these patients." The 1649 people in the placebo group were unnecessarily exposed to a higher risk, he says. Erasmus's Koudstaal says that there may have...
