| antibody titres to lamb rotavirus in colostrum and milk of vaccinated ewes. | ewes were vaccinated two to three weeks prior to mating with a formalin-treated preparation of lamb rotavirus. the colostrum and milk produced by vaccinated ewes after the subsequent pregnancy were shown to contain significantly higher titres of antibody to the virus than did mammary secretions from non-vaccinates. the virus neutralising antibody activity was associated with igg in both colostrum and milk. however, igg concentrations in the mammary secretions of vaccinates and non-vaccinates did ... | 1978 | 211697 |
| epizootiology of bovine rotavirus infection. | published information on rotaviruses as pathogens, the source of virus infection and the method of transmission of infection under normal conditions are reviewed. the antigenic differences between rotavirus isolates from children, calves, pigs, foals and mice are discussed. bovine rotaviruses isolated in the usa and the uk were shown to be closely related antigenically and the us vaccine strain protected calves from challenge with the uk rotavirus. nineteen normally reared calves, with 20 or mor ... | 1978 | 211696 |
