The efficacy of a killed whole-cell Haemophilus somnus bacterin against induced H somnus pneumonia was examined in 10-week-old male calves. Twenty calves were assigned to 1 of the 3 following groups: group 1, nonvaccinated controls (n = 4); group 2, vaccinated once (n = 8); and group 3, vaccinated twice 14 days apart (n = 8). The serum antibody response to vaccination and challenge exposure was evaluated by the bacterial agglutination test and solid-phase immunoassay (SPIA). Vaccinating calves twice, 14 days apart, significantly (P less than 0.05) reduced the severity of clinical signs of pneumonia and gross lesions. Deaths occurred in 1 of 4 nonvaccinated controls, 1 calf vaccinated once, and none of the calves vaccinated twice, 14 days apart. Postvaccination bacterial agglutination titers measured 14 days after the final vaccination were not significantly different between groups 2 and 3, but SPIA titers were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in groups 2 and 3, compared with those in group 1. The less severe clinical signs of pneumonia observed in group-3 calves, compared with those in calves in groups 1 and 2, were significantly (P less than 0.01) correlated to higher SPIA titers, indicating the protective value of vaccinating twice.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare antibody responses, feedlot morbidity and mortality rates, feedlot performance, and carcass value for calves vaccinated with 1 of 2 vaccination strategies and for unvaccinated control calves. DESIGN: Randomized controlled clinical trial. ANIMALS: 451 beef steers and heifers. PROCEDURES: Calves were vaccinated with a modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV), bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 (BVDV1) and 2 (BVDV2), parainfluenza type 3 virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus vaccine and Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida bacterin-toxoid at approximately 67 and 190 days of age (group 1; n = 151) or at approximately 167 and 190 days of age (group 2; 150) or were not vaccinated (control; 150). Serum antibody titers were measured at approximately 2, 67, 167, 190, and 232 days of age. Morbidity and mortality rates, feedlot performance, and carcass value were recorded for 361 calves shipped to feedlots. RESULTS: Percentages of calves seroconverting to IBRV, BVDV1, and BVDV2 were significantly higher for groups 1 and 2 than for the control group. Mean treatment costs were significantly lower for vaccinated than for control calves, and mean mortality rate was significantly higher for control calves than for group 1 calves. Feedlot performance and carcass value did not vary significantly among groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggested that vaccination of beef calves with a 5-antigen modified-live virus vaccine at 67 and 190 days of age was as effective in terms of immunologic responses as was vaccination at 167 and 190 days of age.  相似文献

Vaccination of dairy calves with bovine adenovirus type 3   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A field study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of vaccinating dairy calves with a killed bovine adenovirus type 3 (BA3) vaccine in a herd where pneumonia associated with BA3 infection had been a severe problem. Calves were first vaccinated when they were less than one week old; a second dose was given 10-14 days later. Efficacy of the vaccine was evaluated following natural exposure to the virus by comparing prevalence of pneumonia in control (n = 21) and vaccinated (n = 21) calves. Seroconversion to BA3 was shown in 9 of 12 control calves that developed pneumonia, 4 of these calves subsequently died as a result of the disease. Four additional control calves had a subclinical infection with the virus. All calves in the vaccinated group developed virus-neutralizing antibodies which averaged 1:20 eight weeks after the second vaccination. The serologic response to vaccination was not inhibited in calves possessing low levels of colostral antibodies. Two vaccinated calves developed pneumonia but they did not succumb to the disease. The prevalence of pneumonia in vaccinated calves was significantly reduced (P less than 0.05) when compared to control calves.  相似文献

Using 6- to 8-month-old beef calves, 3 experiments were conducted to compare the effect of vaccination with live or killed Pasteurella haemolytica on resistance to a transthoracic challenge exposure with the organism and to correlate serum antibody response with resistance. In each experiment, calves were vaccinated twice at 1-week intervals and were challenge exposed 21 days after the first inoculation. Lung lesions were evaluated by a system, such that higher scores indicated the more severe lesions. In each experiment, calves immunized with live P haemolytica had lower lesion scores than calves vaccinated with saline solution or bacterin. In 2 of the experiments, the differences were significant (P less than 0.05). In all experiments, calves vaccinated parenterally with a commercial P haemolytica/P multocida bacterin or with a formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterin had lesion scores that were not significantly different (P greater than 0.05) than for control calves vaccinated with saline solution. Live and killed bacterial preparations induced a significant serum antibody response to P haemolytica as measured by a quantitative fluorometric immunoassay. The antibody response to vaccination was not affected by preexisting titers to P haemolytica. Serum antibody titers were not consistently as high for calves vaccinated with bacterins as for calves vaccinated with live organisms. Although high antibody titers correlated with low lesion scores when calves vaccinated with saline solution or live organisms were analyzed collectively, there was not a significant correlation between the 2 variables when calves, vaccinated with saline solution or with bacterin, were analyzed collectively. These data indicate that, although bacterins may induce a detectable serum antibody response, they do not induce protection against transthoracic challenge exposure to P haemolytica.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To estimate transmission of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and crude morbidity and mortality ratios in BVDV-vaccinated and unvaccinated dairy heifer calves managed under typical dairy drylot conditions. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. ANIMALS: 106 female Holstein calves. PROCEDURE: Seroconversion rates for BVDV types I and II and proportional morbidity and mortality ratios were compared between calves given a killed BVDV type-I vaccine at 15 days of age and a modified-live BVDV type-I vaccine at 40 to 45 days of age (n = 53) and calves given no BVDV vaccines (53). Sera were collected at 45-day intervals as calves moved from individual hutches to corrals holding increasingly larger numbers of calves. Seroconversion was used as evidence of exposure to BVDV. RESULTS: Crude proportional morbidity (0.16) and mortality (0.17) ratios for control calves did not differ significantly from those of vaccinated calves (0.28 and 0.12, respectively). The proportion of control calves that seroconverted to BVDV type I through 9 months of age (0.629) was significantly higher than that of vaccinated calves that seroconverted, unrelated to vaccination, during the same period (0.536). Estimated overall protective effect of vaccination against BVDV type I through 4 to 9 months of age was 48%. The proportion of control calves that seroconverted to BVDV type II (0.356) was not different from that of vaccinated calves (0.470). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Findings suggest that calfhood vaccination may be an appropriate strategy to help reduce short-term transmission of some but not necessarily all strains of BVDV.  相似文献

The recurrence and persistence of foot and mouth disease (FMD) could be the consequence of cyclic and massive transportation of calves. For this reason, in South America, vaccination strategies related to livestock dynamic are being promoted. In order to aid the evaluation of such strategies, a method for predicting the risk of transportation of nonvaccinated weaned calves was developed; this method combines expert opinion and empirical evidence using Bayesian estimators. It was applied through Monte Carlo simulation to data of Argentina under four hypothetical vaccination schemes: E1, extended vaccination season of 1/6 of the population of calves each month from July to December without second round vaccination (SRV); E2, extended irregular vaccination from July to December with SRV applied to 70% of the calves resembling the scheme applied in Argentina in 2001; E3, vaccination in November and December without SRV; and E4, vaccination concentrated in November. E1 resulted in probability of transporting non vaccinated calves (tnvc) reaching its maximum in the following year in May with mean=0.0250 and percentile 95% (P95)=0.0404; for the same month tnvc estimates for the other schemes were E2: mean=0.0071; P95=0.0162; E3: mean=0.0017; P95=0.0042 and E4: mean=0.0001; P95=0.0004. Bonferroni multiple comparison for simultaneous assertions for May showed that E4 resulted the best scheme, E1 the worst, and E2 and E3 are intermediate with nonsignificant difference observed between overall (p<0.05). Results were consistent with historical records and quantification for future needs for re-vaccination was made possible. While the ratio "total vaccinated"/"total estimated existences" will give a biased vision of vaccination coverage under the situation of extended vaccination campaigns, a model as the one developed here could allow a more accurate assessment and the design of mitigation plans.  相似文献

A live Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine efficacy trial   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
A live Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 vaccine was used in an efficacy trial conducted on 100 lightweight feeder calves purchased from a Florida ranch. Forty-one calves were inoculated with the vaccine intradermally in the neck. Fifty-nine calves served as nonvaccinated controls. Fourteen days later, the calves were shipped to an order buyer in eastern Tennessee, where the calves were mixed with 60 local calves in a community sale barn for 72 hours. After 3 additional days, the calves were shipped to a research feedlot in Bushland, Tex. They remained in the feedlot for 56 days, and the test was concluded 76 days after vaccination. The P haemolytica vaccine had no significant effect on performance, morbidity, or mortality. There was no significant difference between the vaccinated and nonvaccinated calves in the number of times Pasteurella was isolated. The calves became seropositive to bovine viral diarrhea virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus during the 76-day experiment. All calves initially were seropositive to parainfluenza-3 virus. A virulent outbreak of IBR occurred 30 days after the calves arrived at the feedlot. Before the onset of IBR, the isolation of P haemolytica serotype 1 from nasal turbinates was rare (2 of 500 nasal swabs). After the IBR outbreak, P haemolytica serotype 1 was isolated from 40 of 92 calves.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to document the effect of calfhood vaccination for Mycobacterium paratuberculosis on a serologic ELISA. Fifteen calves vaccinated with a killed paratuberculosis vaccine and 5 unvaccinated control calves were tested from the first through the fifteenth month of life. Age of vaccination ranged from 5 to 40 days. Blood samples were collected prior to vaccination and periodically thereafter. Serum antibody was analyzed by use of the ELISA. All calves were ELISA-negative prior to vaccination. Thirteen of 15 vaccinated calves became ELISA-positive between 2 and 6 months after vaccination. The unvaccinated cohort remained ELISA-negative. Wide-spread use of vaccine may interfere with diagnosis of paratuberculosis and with control programs that are based on serologic tests that measure humoral antibody.  相似文献

A streptomycin-dependent, live Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine was given in 1 or 2 doses to 2 groups of weaned calves; 2 other groups of calves were not vaccinated. All calves in the vaccinated groups and calves in 1 of the nonvaccinated groups were stressed by transport, intratracheally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus type-1 (Cooper strain), and then intratracheally inoculated with P haemolytica type A1. The 4th group of calves (nonvaccinated controls) was not stressed and were not intratracheally inoculated with virus or bacteria. Mean daily weight gains, total clinical sign scores, lung lesion scores, plasma fibrinogen concentrations, and antibody titers against P haemolytica were determined at various intervals. Calves that had been vaccinated twice had greater mean daily weight gains and lower total clinical sign scores and lung lesion scores than did nonvaccinated, challenge-exposed calves, but the difference was not significant (P greater than 0.05). Calves vaccinated once had the greatest mean daily weight gains, the lowest total clinical sign scores, and the lowest lung lesion scores when compared with the other 2 challenge-exposed groups of calves. Mean daily weight gains and total clinical sign scores of calves vaccinated once were significantly different (P less than 0.05) than those of calves vaccinated twice. Nonvaccinated, nonchallenge-exposed control calves did not develop clinical signs of disease, did not develop lung lesions, and had consistently positive daily weight gains, and had scores in these areas that were significantly different (P less than 0.05) from those of all challenge-exposed groups of calves. Increases in plasma fibrinogen concentrations corresponded to infection with P haemolytica.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a combination viral vaccine containing modified-live bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) would protect calves from infection with a recent field isolate of BHV-1. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. ANIMALS: Sixty 4- to 6-month-old beef calves. PROCEDURE: Calves were inoculated with a placebo 42 and 20 days prior to challenge (group 1; n = 10) or with the combination vaccine 42 and 20 days prior to challenge (group 2; 10), 146 and 126 days prior to challenge (group 3; 10), 117 and 96 days prior to challenge (group 4; 10), 86 and 65 days prior to challenge (group 5; 10), or 126 days prior to challenge (group 6; 10). All calves were challenged with BHV-1 via aerosol. Clinical signs, immune responses, and nasal shedding of virus were monitored for 14 days after challenge. RESULTS: Vaccination elicited increases in BHV-1-specific IgG antibody titers. Challenge with BHV-1 resulted in mild respiratory tract disease in all groups, but vaccinated calves had less severe signs of clinical disease. Extent and duration of nasal BHV-1 shedding following challenge was significantly lower in vaccinated calves than in control calves. In calves that received 2 doses of the vaccine, the degree of protection varied with the interval between the last vaccination and challenge, as evidenced by increases in risk of clinical signs and extent and duration of viral shedding. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that this combination vaccine provided protection from infection with virulent BHV-1 and significantly reduced nasal shedding of the virus for at least 126 days after vaccination.  相似文献

A vaccination study was conducted in a herd of purebred Hereford cattle representing 4 selection (genetic) lines. For each of 2 years, half of the cattle were vaccinated with a pilus-enriched Moraxella bovis bacterin. Cows were vaccinated before parturition, and calves were vaccinated at 2 to 3 months of age. None of the cattle was vaccinated for 1 year preceding and 1 year after the 2 years in which cattle were vaccinated. There was a significantly (P less than 0.05) lower percentage of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in calves during years cattle were vaccinated than during years cattle were not vaccinated. During years cattle were vaccinated, there were lower percentages of IBK in vaccinated calves when compared with the percentages of IBK in nonvaccinated calves. When calves were compared on the basis of selection lines, regardless of the vaccination group, there were consistent differences in the percentages that developed IBK. Although calves with pigmented and nonpigmented eyes (representing all 4 genetic lines) developed IBK, the genetic line of calves with the most pigmented eyes had the lowest (P less than 0.05) percentage of IBK. Also, across all genetic lines, there was less IBK in pigmented eyes than in nonpigmented eyes. Seemingly, vaccination of dams, before parturition, and young calves reduced the occurrence of severe IBK in a herd situation under natural exposure conditions. The resistance or susceptibility in cattle under good management may be influenced by genetic factors.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the health and performance of young dairy calves vaccinated with a commercial Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida vaccine. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial. ANIMALS: 358 Holstein dairy calves between 14 and 20 days of age on 8 farms. PROCEDURE: Calves were randomly assigned to a control or vaccinated group. The vaccine used was a commercial modified-live M. haemolytica and P. multocida vaccine that was administered on days 0 and 14. Calf weight was measured on day 0 and monthly for 3 months. Farmers were asked to record any treatment given to the calves and the reason for treatment during the 4 months of the study. Blood was collected from all calves on days 0 and 28, and titers of antibodies to M. haemolytica were determined by means of direct bacterial agglutination. RESULTS: Mean daily gain was not significantly different between vaccinated and control calves. Vaccinated calves had a significantly greater increase in antibody titers (5.3-fold increase), compared with control calves (3.6-fold increase). There was no significant difference between vaccinated and control calves for any of the treatment outcomes (number and duration of treatments and age at first and last treatments). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that the M. haemolytica and P. multocida vaccine, given twice 2 weeks apart, was effective in increasing titers of antibodies against M. haemolytica in young dairy calves but did not improve calf performance or health.  相似文献

The aim of the experiment was to study whether bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) marker vaccine batches known to be contaminated with bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) type 1 could cause BVD in cattle. For this purpose, four groups of cattle were used. The first group (n = 4 calves, the positive control group), was vaccinated with vaccine from a batch contaminated with BVDV type 2. The second group (n = 4 calves, the negative control group), was vaccinated with vaccine from a batch that was not contaminated with BVDV. The third group (n = 39 calves), was vaccinated with a vaccine from one of four batches contaminated with BVDV type 1 (seronegative experimental group). The fourth group (n = 6 seropositive heifers), was vaccinated with a vaccine from one of three batches known to be contaminated with BVDV type 1. All cattle were vaccinated with an overdose of the BHV1 marker vaccine. At the start of the experiment, all calves except those from group 4 were seronegative for BVDV and BHV1. The calves from group 4 had antibodies against BVDV, were BVDV-free and seronegative to BHV1. After vaccination, the positive control calves became severely ill, had fever for several days, and BVDV was isolated from nasal swabs and white blood cells. In addition, these calves produced antibodies to BVDV and BHV1. No difference in clinical scores of the other groups was seen, nor were BVDV or BVDV-specific antibody responses detected in these calves; however, they did produce antibodies against BHV1. The remainder of each vaccine vial used was examined for the presence of infectious BVDV in cell culture. From none of the vials was BVDV isolated after three subsequent passages. This indicates that BVDV was either absent from the vials or was present in too low an amount to be isolated. Thus vaccination of calves with vaccines from BHV1 marker vaccine batches contaminated with BVDV type 1 did not result in BVDV infections.  相似文献

Three experiments were conducted on calves in which the efficacy of vaccination with live Pasteurella haemolytica in aerosol was tested by challenge with sequential aerosol exposure to bovine herpesvirus 1 and P. haemolytica. Neither single nor multiple aerosol vaccinations protected against the experimental disease. Macroscopically recognizable rhinitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis and pneumonia occurred in both controls and vaccinates. In one experiment as many as three aerosol vaccinations with live P. haemolytica for up to 20 minutes failed to elicit clinical signs in exposed calves. Pasteurella haemolytica was isolated less frequently from tissues of vaccinated calves than from those of nonvaccinated calves. Pasteurella haemolytica was isolated from deep nasal swabs of 4/14 vaccinated calves five and six days after viral exposure. It was concluded that although bovine herpesvirus 1 vaccination has been shown previously to prevent the experimental disease produced by bovine herpesvirus 1-P. haemolytica, live P. haemolytica vaccination by aerosol will not provide the same protection.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted. In the first, 16 crossbred Hereford calves were divided into two equal groups. The first group was vaccinated intranasally with a commercial vaccine against bovid herpesvirus 1 and the second group was unvaccinated. The calves were later exposed to an aerosol of bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) for five minutes. Four calves from each group were subjected to transportation and four calves from each group were kept in an environmental chamber for four days. Four days after viral aerosol all calves were exposed to an aerosol of Pasteurella haemolytica and the same subgroups were again transported or held in the chamber for a further four days.

The calves that did not die from pneumonia were necropsied ten days after the final day of transport. Pulmonary lesions were present in both vaccinated and control animals but were less extensive in the vaccinated calves. Six of eight vaccinated but none of the eight control calves survived.

In the second experiment, eight crossbred Hereford calves were divided into two equal groups. One group was vaccinated with bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) and the other acted as controls. Four weeks later all calves were sequentially exposed to aerosols of bovid herpesvirus 1 (strain 108) and P. haemolytica four days apart. Three of the four controls but none of the vaccinates died from pneumonia. Every lobe of the lungs in all the controls was affected by pneumonia while no pulmonary lesions were found in the vaccinated calves. The differences in efficacy of the modes of vaccination and the possible role of transport stress are discussed.

Cows were vaccinated with formalin-killed Salmonella typhimurium approximately seven weeks and two weeks before parturition to investigate whether passive immunity could protect their calves against experimental S typhimurium infection. After birth the calves were left with their dam for 48 hours and then separated and fed cold, stored colostrum from their own dam for a further eight days. Oral challenge five days after birth with 10(8) S typhimurium did not result in the death of these calves even when they had absorbed little colostrum. Mortality was reduced to 22 per cent in calves which sucked from vaccinated dams and were then fed colostrum from unvaccinated cows and to 50 per cent in calves born to unvaccinated cows and later fed colostrum from vaccinated animals. Calves which sucked from a vaccinated dam and then received stored colostrum from the same cow excreted salmonellas for significantly shorter periods after challenge and were less often infected at necropsy 28 days after inoculation. Protection was not correlated with the levels of O or H agglutinating antibodies in serum, which were at a maximum 24 hours after sucking and then slowly declined. There was no evidence of an active antibody response in the serum. Measurement of the O and H response of cows after vaccination indicated that the vaccination schedule could be improved. The highest levels of agglutinating antibody were measured between two and three weeks after the first vaccination and there was only a minimal response to the second vaccination before parturition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Generalized bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) infection was diagnosed in six Salers calves from the same herd. The calves had received an intramuscular injection of modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis parainfluenza-3 vaccine between birth and three days of age. The purpose of this study was to determine if the outbreak was associated with the vaccine strain of BHV-1. Analysis of epidemiological data and BHV-1 DNA for restriction fragment length polymorphism was undertaken. Multifocal necrosis in multiple organs was observed on pathological examination, and the presence of BHV-1 in tissues was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Forty-three calves (aged birth to thirty days) were vaccinated over an 11-day interval. The 10 deaths recorded for vaccinated calves were clustered over a subsequent 14-day interval. Mortality in calves vaccinated between birth and three days of age was significantly higher than in nonvaccinated calves (chi-square test; p < or = 0.025), and this mortality was characterized by a greater age at death and duration of illness for vaccinated calves (t test; p < or = 0.001). The patterns of the restriction fragments, generated by six restriction endonucleases, of BHV-1 isolated from a necropsied calf and from the vaccine were identical, and different from that of a laboratory strain of BHV-1 (P8-2). These findings support the conclusion that newborn calves were susceptible to an intramuscularly injected vaccine strain of BHV-1, and that administration of an intramuscular modified-live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis parainfluenza-3 vaccine to neonatal calves may not be an innocuous procedure.  相似文献

Ten Holstein calves were divided into 2 groups. Five calves served as nonvaccinated controls, and 5 calves were vaccinated IM at 2 and 3 weeks of age with 10(9) aromatic-dependent (aro-) Salmonella typhimurium strain SL1479 containing O antigens 1, 4, 12. Serious adverse reactions to vaccination were not observed in the calves. Mean maximum rectal temperature increase in the vaccinated calves was 1.5 C. One calf had diarrhea and depressed appetite for 1 day after vaccination. At 5 weeks of age, all calves were challenge exposed orally with 1.5 X 10(11) virulent S dublin strain SL1367 (O antigens 9,12). After challenge-exposure inoculum was given, 1 of 5 vaccinated calves died and 4 of the 5 nonvaccinated calves died (P less than 0.05). Thus, some cross serotype protection against S dublin was induced by parenteral vaccination of calves with aro- S typhimurium strain SL1479, although protection was not complete.  相似文献
