Evaluation of Passive Immunity Induced by Immunisation Using Two Inactivated gE-deleted Marker Vaccines against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) in Calves [PDF]
Different types of vaccines against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) are commercially available. Among these, inactivated glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccines are commonly used, but their ability to induce passive immunity is poorly known ...

Failure of Passive Immunity Transfer Is Not a Risk Factor for Omphalitis in Beef Calves. [PDF]
Simple Summary In calves, omphalitis is an infection of one or all the umbilical structures. It is the third most frequent disease in newborn calves. The objective of this longitudinal clinical trial was to assess the association between omphalitis and ...

Decreased Passive Immunity to Respiratory Viruses through Human Milk during the COVID-19 Pandemic. [PDF]
Passive immunity derived from antibodies in human milk is important for protecting young infants against invading viruses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, circulation of common respiratory viruses was virtually absent due to preventative measures. ABSTRACT

Evaluation of 3 refractometers to determine transfer of passive immunity in neonatal beef calves.
BACKGROUND Refractometry is used to assess transfer of passive immunity (TPI), but studies evaluating different refractometers and appropriate thresholds for recommended target immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations for beef calves are limited ...
