“…There are conflicting reports on the possible effects of live and inactivated vaccination on the prevalence of BRSV infections. Several workers have reported that vaccinations reduced the prevalence and severity of the disease (Kubota et al, 1992(Kubota et al, , 1990Howard et al, 1987;Stott et al, 1987Stott et al, , 1984Morter and Amstutz, 1986;Thomas et al, 1986;Frennet et al, 1984) while others found no significant effect (Morisse et al, 1990;Ploeger et al, 1986;Holzhauer and Wertenbroek, 1979). A major limitation of these vaccines is that maternally-derived antibody to BRSV suppresses an active immune response in calves Westenbrink et al, 1989).…”
