Abstract
The results of vaccination trials carried out on pups with maternally deriv ed antibodies (MDA) to canine parvovirus (CPV), using a modified-live CPV-2 b variant vaccine (29-97/40 strain), are reported. The vaccine was able to overcome the obstacle of MDA, and to elicit protective immunity in 100 % of the pups whose antibody titres were 1:10-1:40, 83 % of the pups with titre s of 1:80, 57% of the pups with titres of 1:160, and even in 60 % of the pu ps with antibody titres of 1:320.
