[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 117042, member: 1026"] Ok, if the animal is infected in utero, it could be PI but not necessarily. Some will be aborted, some will be PI and some will be able to respond against the virus. The way to find the PI animals is to take titres...vaccinated animals that are PI will not develop resistance or antibody titres to the vaccine. Now having said that, these are the animals which will develop mucosal disease on exposure to the BVD virus type 2 in the future. Animals which can develop immunity, aka NOT PI, can still develop an immune deficiency with the virus but it is not usually fatal, and is usually transient. These animals will usually throw off the virus in time, although some may become persistant shedders. Did I clarify or muddy your understanding? [/QUOTE]
