Neutralizing Antibody Response in Cattle Following Vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Mass vaccination, immunity and coverage: modelling population protection against foot-and-mouth disease in Turkish cattle

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Turkey is controlled using biannual mass vaccination of cattle. However, vaccine protection is undermined by population turnover and declining immunity. A dynamic model of the Turkish cattle population was created. Assuming biannual mass vaccination with a single-dose primary course, vaccine history was calculated for the simulated population (number of doses and...

Assessment of Serum Neutralizing Antibody Titers against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus A and O in Young Colostrum-Fed Dairy Calves

The B-cell response to foot-and-mouth-disease virus in cattle following vaccination and live-virus challenge

Antibodies play a pivotal role against viral infection, and maintenance of protection is dependent on plasma and memory B-cells. Understanding antigen-specific B-cell responses in cattle is essential to inform future vaccine design. We have previously defined T-cell-dependent and -independent B-cell responses in cattle, as a prelude to investigating foot-and-mouth-disease-virus (FMDV)-specific ...

Innate immune responses following emergency vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease virus in pigs.

Inactivated "emergency" foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccine of high potency will induce early protection against the disease, implying a critical role for innate immune defences. At 3 and 6 days post-vaccination (dpv), there was no evidence of vaccine-induced specific anti-FMDV antibodies (Abs), nor enhanced uptake and destruction of opsonised virus by macrophages. Sera from vaccinates ...
