J A Roth et al. Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract. 1998 Jul.

Abstract

This article reviews the basic types of immunity, the factors relevant to feedlot cattle that have been shown to suppress immune function, and what is known about the basis of protective acquired immunity against the common bovine respiratory pathogens. The characteristics and efficacy of vaccines for respiratory disease pathogens are also reviewed. Recommendations for optimizing vaccination are presented.
