Influence of immunization procedures on upper respiratory tract immunity in cattle.
Aspects of respiratory tract immunity have been investigated in the bovine species. Using Past. hemolytica type I as the antigen for this model the relationship of nasal and serum antibody production to the route of vaccination and type of vaccine was investigated in a series of 15 dairy calves from two to four months of age. Experimental results indicated that an aerosol vaccination with live Past. hemolytica resulted in a significant nasal antibody response while parenterally vaccinated gave calves with equivalent serum titers had no significant nasal antibody response.
