title: An attenuated bovine herpesvirus 1 marker vaccine induces a better protection than two inactivated marker vaccines.
abstract: A comparative study on the efficacy of 3 bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) marker vaccines was carried out. An attenuated gE-negative vaccine, an inactivated gE-negative vaccine and an experimental gD-subunit vaccine were tested twice in a vaccination-challenge experiment in cattle. The attenuated vaccine induced the best clinical protection as evidenced by the total absence of clinical signs and fever in cattle. In addition, the attenuated vaccine reduced the shedding of challenge virus significantly more than the inactivated vaccines. Of the inactivated vaccines, the gE-negative vaccine induced a better clinical protection than the gD-subunit vaccine.
