Abstract | ||||
To study the efficacy of inactivated BVD virus for protection of the Baladi sheep against pestivirus infection (Border disease), BVDantibody free twelve Iambs were immunized with two doses of the locally prepared BVD, IBR and P1-3 combined inactivated vaccine (Pneumo-3 vaccine) 2 weeks apart. Challenge test was done one month after the first inoculation. The vaccine evoked resistance against the challenge with virulent BVD virus, and a protective level of antibodies persisted up to the 6th month after vaccination. | ||||
