  • Title: Studies on neonatal calf diarrhoea caused by rotavirus: transmission of the disease and attempted vaccination of colostrum-deprived calves.
    Author: Theodoridis A, Prozesky L, Els HJ.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1980 Mar; 47(1):31-4. PubMed ID: 6256698.
    Abstract:
    Mild to severe scouring could be produced in colostrum-deprived calves with tissue culture-adapted rotavirus and feacal material from field cases of calf diarrhoea. The feaces of experimentally infected calves contained rotavirus for at least 3 days. Pathogenic bacteria were presented in one calf only and this calf also showed the most severe gastroenteritis. Eight calves were vaccinated with a live rotaviral calf diarrhoea vaccine and subsequently challenged with infective rotavirus. Mild scouring was observed after vaccination, but the calves remained normal after challenge. Rotavirus particles were detectable in the faeces for a few days after vaccination and challenge.
