Bovine humoral immune response to Cryptosporidium parvum

Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease predominately affecting cattle and humans. Sera from experimentally infected calves and calves of various ages with no histories of exposure were evaluated for immunoglobulin G to Cryptosporidium parvum. An age-associated increase in immunoglobulin G was pres...

Description
Summary:Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease predominately affecting cattle and humans. Sera from experimentally infected calves and calves of various ages with no histories of exposure were evaluated for immunoglobulin G to Cryptosporidium parvum. An age-associated increase in immunoglobulin G was present in experimental calves and in calves with no histories of infection from 1 to 3, but not 3, months of age
