“…However, frequent handling in the corral, e.g., more than two times, was stressful as indicated by the significant increase (P < 0.05) in serum cortisol concentrations on day 60 of observation (Figure 2). A similar phenomenon was observed by Reis et al [22].…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of one or two doses of the anti-rabies vaccination on the serum concentration of cortisol and the humoral immune response in cattle as well as the correlation between serum cortisol concentrations and the titers of rabies-neutralizing antibodies. Nelore cattle were randomly assigned to one of three groups, which were vaccinated with one dose of rabies vaccine (group GVSR, N = 15), two doses of rabies vaccine (group GVR, N = 15) or were not vaccinated (group Gc, N = 15). A commercial liquid inactivated rabies vaccine was used. The stressors imposed on the cattle were vaccination, corral handling and the presence of people. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 30 and 60 post-vaccination. Serum cortisol concentrations were determined using a solid-phase radioimmunoassay, and rabies antibody titers were determined using a serum neutralization test with BHK 21 cells (RFFIT). Both serum cortisol concentrations and antibody titers increased after the second (booster) vaccination (P < 0.05). In all the groups, the serum cortisol concentrations increased after the cattle were handled in the corral (P < 0.05). No correlation was observed between the serum cortisol concentrations and the antibody titers with any treatment or on any observation day. In conclusion, booster vaccination is indispensable for primovaccinated cattle in achieving high and protective levels of rabies antibodies. Although booster vaccination and frequent cattle handling in corrals are stressors, the response is not strong enough to cause immunosuppression in cattle.

“…As these pandas grow older their immune systems will begin to mature as well. A similar phenomenon was observed in cattle by Reis et al (2009Reis et al ( & 2013. These results suggest that an optimized vaccination plan be formulated or administer panda cubs with a booster dose of vaccine.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the immune response and safety of a commercially available rabies virus vaccine in the giant panda. Serum antibody titers were measured and recorded during a one-year period post-vaccination. We injected 13 giant pandas with inactivated adjuvant vaccine against the rabies virus produced by NOBIVAC of Netherlands, followed by blood collection for serologic response. Rabies antibody titers were measured over a period of 12 months using the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) test. No adverse reactions were observed. Furthermore, the vaccine was able to elicit a strong immune reaction from recipients of adult groups, and maintain an adequate level of antibody titers for the duration of at least one year. Panda cubs received vaccines for the first time were 50% (2/4), developed an antibody response post-vaccination. We concluded that this vaccine is safe and effective for use in the giant panda, providing strong protection against exposure to rabies.
