Vaccination of piglets against post-weaning "E. coli" enterotoxicosis. 1983

E O Rijke, and J Webster, and J C Baars

E. coli enterotoxicosis is one of the main causes of neonatal diarrhea in piglets. For their protection against this disease a vaccine has been prepared based on K88 and LT. Pregnant sows were vaccinated, thereby transferring passive immunity to their offspring through colostrum and milk. Protection was obtained in terms of decrease in mortality, occurrence of diarrhea and excretion of enteropathogenic bacteria. Piglets from non-immune sows could be immunized shortly after birth. However, piglets from immune sows vaccinated once after birth failed to show an active antibody response; only by two vaccinations, 4 weeks apart, was an antibody formation induced. From the results presented it is concluded that a proper vaccination schedule makes it possible to immunize piglets from both immune and non-immune sows and induce protection against post-weaning diarrhea.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
D004768 Enterotoxins Substances that are toxic to the intestinal tract causing vomiting, diarrhea, etc.; most common enterotoxins are produced by bacteria. Staphylococcal Enterotoxin,Enterotoxin,Staphylococcal Enterotoxins,Enterotoxin, Staphylococcal,Enterotoxins, Staphylococcal
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
