Description
Summary:Abstract The ultimate goal of a vaccine is to protect vaccinated animals against re-exposure to the same pathogen and provide sterile immunity. However, a cutaneous clinical manifestation appeared, following re-exposure of cattle that had been vaccinated with the RM65 strain, to LSDV infection during an epidemic in 2006–2007. Four thousand six hundred and seven vaccinated cows entered the study after being re-exposed to LSDV infection. Of them, 513 (11%) presented lumps, and there was a marked difference between the proportions of dairy and feedlot animals that were affected: 146 out of 3517 and 367 out of 1090 (6.6 and 33.7%, respectively). This data suggests that the potency of the vaccine need to be re-assessed for beef cattle.
