The use of a formal sensitivity analysis on epidemic models with immune protection from maternally acquired antibodies [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
This paper considers the outcome of a formal sensitivity analysis on a series of epidemic model structures developed to study the population level effects of maternal antibodies. The analysis is used to compare the potential influence of maternally acquired immunity on various age and time domain observations of infection and serology, with and without

Placental Transfer and Maternally Acquired Neonatal IgG Immunity in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1996
Transplacental transfer of specific IgG antibodies was studied in 46 pairs of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive women and their neonates and in 53 pairs of healthy HIV-seronegative mothers and their newborns. Neonatal and maternal sera were assessed by nephelometry for total levels of serum IgG and by ELISA for IgG antibodies to ...

Escherichia coli Septicemia Associated with Lack of Maternally Acquired Immunity in a Bottlenose Dolphin Calf [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2007
Stillbirth and neonatal mortality are substantial problems in captive bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus). The cause of these problems often is unknown. We report a case of Escherichia coli septicemia in a male 3-day-old bottlenose dolphin calf.

Rabies Vaccination of 6-Week-Old Puppies Born to Immunized Mothers: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a High-Mortality Population of Owned, Free-Roaming Dogs

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
To achieve global elimination of human rabies from dogs by 2030, evidence-based strategies for effective dog vaccination are needed. Current guidelines recommend inclusion of dogs younger than 3 months in mass rabies vaccination campaigns, although ...

The Role of Maternally Acquired Antibody in Providing Protective Immunity Against Nontyphoidal Salmonella in Urban Vietnamese Infants: A Birth Cohort Study [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
We found a high transfer ratio of anti-nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) antibodies from mothers to infants. Furthermore, despite a high seroincidence of NTS in infants, maternally acquired antibodies provided protection from seroconversion. Therefore, we propose prenatal immunization against NTS as a possible strategy for protecting infants from NTS ...
