Allotype-Dependent Responses to the Vaccine Candidate Thrombospondin-Like Protein of Dictyocaulus viviparus in Calves. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT The nematode Dictyocaulus viviparus causes parasitic bronchitis in cattle. There is a vaccine based on irradiated larvae against this parasite. However, no memory response is induced, and donor calves are needed for culturing the larvae. Therefore, a well‐defined subunit vaccine would be welcomed.
