Abstract
In this study potential vaccine candidate immunogens were identified a nd evaluated in a vaccine challenge trial. Calves vaccinated with a pa rtially purified fraction of Psoroptes ovis-soluble proteins had 8 of 14 calves free of palpable lesions 8 wk after a challenge infestation. A self-grooming behavioral response elicited by a pruritic immediate- type allergic reaction was believed to be an effector in protecting th e vaccinated calves from a clinical P. ovis infestation.
