Temporal assessment of seroconversion in response to inactivated foot-and-mouth disease vaccine in Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx)

Ten male Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) were vaccinated with a commercially available standard aqueous foot-and-mouth-disease vaccine containing aluminium hydroxide as an adjuvant, and their antibody titres against serotypes O and A were measured using solid-phase blocking ELISA and the virus neutralisation test. Mean ELISA antibody titres greater than 1.45 log10 were recorded for serotype A, but low ELISA titres were recorded for serotype O; low titres were recorded by VNT for both serotypes.
