Resumen
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a widespread infection that can affect innate and adaptive immunity; however, little information exists on how BLV infection affects foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccination programs. Vaccination for FMDV is compulsory in many regions of the world, and vaccine efficacy is monitored by measuring total antibodies against this virus. In a previous study, we observed that BLV-infected heifers produced a lower amount of antibodies in response to FMDV at first vaccination. In this follow-up study, we show that BLV status does not interfere with the total level and avidity of anti-FMDV–specific antibodies induced after repetitive routine vaccination in adult cattle. This is relevant information for the proficiency of vaccine-based FMDV control programs in BLV-endemic regions.
