Six types of antibody to malignant catarrhal fever virus (MCFV) were measured in 132 sera collected from Wildebeest in Kenya Masailand. The titre of all types of antibody declined slowly with increasing age of the wildebeest. A significantly greater proportion of wildebeest calves had higher titres of antibodies to MCFV early antigens, IgM antibodies to MCFV late antigens and complement-fixing antibodies, than did older animals. One seronegative calf, reared in isolation without colostrum, became seropositive 4 1/2 weeks after birth but did not show any clinical signs indicative of MCFV infection. Similarities between MCFV infection of wildebeest calves and other inapparent infections with lymphoproliferative herpesviruses are discussed.
