Abstract

Sera of cattle vaccinated, either with a monovalent vaccine of BL, H.S, FMD and RVF or a multicomponent vaccine of the four diseases were subjected to different serological tests specific for each vaccine and ELISA. The antibody titers of the sera tested allover 12 months re­vealed a high antibody titer in each type of vaccine, but the titers were much higher in oil adjuvant vaccines than aluminum hydroxide gel vac­cines.
