Infectious coryza: in vivo growth of Haemophilus gallinarum as a determinant for cross protection.
Four strains of Haemophilus gallinarum representing 3 immunotypes were used in exposure and challenge exposure studies to determine if in vivo growth of the organism would induce cross protection in chickens. Birds which recovered from infection to 1 immunotype were refractory to reinfection with the heterologous immunotype. In contrast, in vitro-produced bacterins produced immunotype-specific protection.
