Description
Costa and a large team survey gut pathogens in French calves and ask how vaccination of mothers changes the picture. Their 2026 Veterinary Research study collects more than eleven hundred stool samples from calves and dams at an experimental unit and on farms with recurring newborn diarrhea. Samples were screened for the main diarrhea agents.
Cryptosporidium was the most common pathogen found, ahead of bovine rotavirus. Where dams were systematically vaccinated against rotavirus, coronavirus, and E. coli, only about one in six calves showed symptoms. Two Cryptosporidium species were reported in sick calves for the first time, and one genotype family dominated the findings. Genotype comparisons suggested calf-to-calf spread and dirty environments matter more than direct mother-to-calf passage.
