Abstract
Pigs infected with T. spiralis and T. britovi were followed by double (IgG)
and triple antibody ELISA (IgG1, IgG2 and IgM) during a 12-week-period. Sp
ecific IgG and IgG1 responses were similar and showed a significant relatio
n with the infecting doses and intensity of infection. Response to T. brito
vi was slightly lower than in groups infected with the same dose of T. spir
alis. IgG2 response was weak and almost undetectable in the lowest infected
pigs, but relationship with the intensity of infection was unclear. IgM an
tibodies showed rapid but transient increases, generally simultaneous to pe
aks of IgG response.
