Protection of Newborn Animals through Maternal Immunization 2007-07-31 .txt text/plain 1734 92 44 Summary Providing protective immunity to neonatal animals in early life is associated with numerous challenges regarding vaccine safety and efficacy. A much simpler approach is maternal vaccination, either before or during pregnancy, to provide the neonate with passively transferred immunity. Although only passively transferred antibodies have been extensively studied, other immunological mechanisms may be equally important in providing maternally derived immunity. An alternative strategy to provide early life protection against infectious disease is maternal vaccination. By contrast, active maternal vaccination of various animal species has been practiced for a long time and provides a good level of safety and protection against some pathogens. Many other examples of maternal vaccination of animals exist, for example the vaccination of sows has been widely used in the ¢eld to protect piglets and pigs from neonatal colibacillosis, necrotizing diarrhoea, erysipelas, atrophic rhinitis, swine in£uenza and Aujesky's disease. ./cache/cord-284554-3kod0oah.txt ./txt/cord-284554-3kod0oah.txt
