Table 2.

Dynamics of antibody status to bovine coronavirus (BCV) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), in pooled milk samples from five primiparous cows from 79 dairy herds in four areas in Sweden, stratified by the results of the first sampling in primiparous pools and in bulk tank milk (BTM). The results relate to six sampling points between October 2006 and April 2009.

Result at first test BTM/primiparous pool Negative throughout study New exposure - remained positive New exposure - returned to negative Multiple new exposures (fluctuated)
BRSV (n = 4) - / - 100% 0% 0% 0%
BRSV (n = 12) + / - 41.7% 33.3% 8.3% 16.7%
BCV (n = 2) - / - 100% 0% 0% 0%
BCV (n = 9) + / - 22.2% 66.7% 11.1% 0%



Positive throughout study Turned negative - remained negative Turned negative then new exposure Multiple new exposures (fluctuated)
BRSV (n = 64) + / + 50.0% 33.3% 16.7% 0%
BCV (n = 69) + / + 59.4% 13.0% 27.5% 0%
