From: Effect of vaccination of cattle with the low virulence Nc-Spain 1H isolate of Neospora caninum against a heterologous challenge in early and mid-gestation

Figure 2

N. caninum -specific IgG responses in cattle kept at the experimental farm. The IgG antibody levels were measured in heifers following immunisation with the Nc-Spain 1H isolate prior to AI and challenge with the heterologous Nc-1 isolate at early and mid-gestation. Data are expressed as the mean relative index per cent (RIPC), and error bars represent the standard deviations for each group. Only the upper standard deviation bars are shown. Positive cut-off ≥ 8.2 RIPC. The antibody concentration could not be measured in non-immunised/70-challenged group from day 77 post-challenge because most of the heifers were euthanised due to the high foetal mortality detected.
