[Hog cholera: active immunity conferred by the Chinese strain vaccine to young pigs born to immune sows]. 1978

P Précausta, and F Kato, and A Brun

This paper deals with the comparative development of active immunity in young pigs which were born from unvaccinated sows and from recently vaccinated sows. The development of immunity is expressed by the neutralizing serum antibody titer and protection against a pathogenic virus. The results show that: --the post-vaccinal increase in antibodies is inversely proportional to the titer of passive antibodies at the time of vaccination, --protection at the end of economic life depends on the antibody titer at the time of the challenge, --young pigs born from a mother which is not immune can be vaccinated starting at the age of 7 days, --the percentage of protection at the end of economic life of vaccinated baby pigs with colostral antibodies ranges from 50% when the vaccination was carried out at the age of 7 days to 100% when the vaccination occurs at the age of 2 months.

The placental barrier excludes microbial or viral transmission.	Transplacental Exposure,Exchange, Maternal-Fetal,Exposure, Transplacental,Maternal Fetal Exchange
D009500	Neutralization Tests	The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

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
D003126	Colostrum	The thin, yellow, serous fluid secreted by the mammary glands during pregnancy and immediately postpartum before lactation begins. It consists of immunologically active substances, white blood cells, water, protein, fat, and carbohydrates.	Colostrums

D006691	Classical Swine Fever	An acute, highly contagious disease affecting swine of all ages and caused by the CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER VIRUS. It has a sudden onset with high morbidity and mortality.	Hog Cholera,Swine Fever,Swine Fever, Classical,Cholera, Hog
D000367	Age Factors	Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
