Cryptosporidium antibodies in manitoba cattle: a pilot study using an indirect fluorescent antibody procedure.

Year: 1987

Type: article

Abstract: An indirect fluorescent antibody test, using feces-derived oocysts as antigen, was used to detect antibodies to Cryptosporidium spp. in bovine sera in Manitoba. Antibodies were detected in 29 of 50 (58%) sera collected from animals of various ages on farms where calves had laboratory-confirmed cryptosporidiosis and in 76 of 186 (40.9%) sera collected at random from culled breeding stock. Serum antibody, presumably colostral in origin, did not appear to protect young calves from the infection. No geographic preference for the infection was demonstrated.
