• W2069854932 abstract "The occurrence of endemic stability for heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) is a controversial issue, because the means by which young cattle and other neonatal ruminants become infected and acquire immunity to the disease have never been adequately explained. We conducted a study in a heartwater-endemic area in southeastern Zimbabwe to investigate the relationships between calf immunity to C. ruminatium, infestations of the tick vector Amblyomma hebraeum and dam, colostral and calf antibody titres to C. ruminantium. Two groups of cows (tick-infested and acaricide-treated) were artificially inseminated and then monitored through pregnancy and lactation by means of tick counts and serum antibody titres. The calves born to the cows in each treatment group were similarly monitored from birth until after weaning, when they were challenged with a heartwater stabilate (Ball-3 vaccine). Colostrum was collected from the cows on the days that the calves were born. Serum and colostrum samples were screened for Cowdria-specific antibodies using an indirect fluorescent antibody test. The cows and calves in the acaricide-treated group remained essentially tick-free for the duration of the study. The cows in the tick-infested group were continuously infested with A. hebraeum, but their calves only became infested between 12 and 31 weeks after birth. Cowdria-specific antibodies were detected in the sera of the cows and calves and in the colostrum of both treatment groups, but the titres were consistently higher in the tick-infested group than in the acaricide-treated group. Antibodies, probably of maternal origin since the precolostral serum titres were negative, were present in the calves of both groups for at least 8 weeks after birth. Between Weeks 24 and 52 postpartum, the antibody titres of the tick-infested group of calves were significantly correlated with the numbers of A. hebraeum present on the animals. The antibody titres of the calves in the acaricide-treated group increased considerably following challenge with heartwater stabilate, 60 weeks after birth. No clinical heartwater was detected in either group of calves following inoculation of stabilate, and it was concluded that the calves in both groups were immune to the disease. In the acaricide-treated group, immunity did not correlate with exposure to tick-transmitted infections. Hence, we concluded that the calves in both groups had probably been infected by vertical transmission around the time of birth. Such early infections are likely to have been controlled by maternal antibodies or by an unidentified immune mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
