Abstract

The present study was conducted to study IgG and IgA antibody responses to cytomegalovirus (CMV) in serum and milk. Another more practical objective was to find out whether or not an analysis of a milk sample could be used instead of the classical testing of a serum sample to ascertain a latent CMV infection. As a comparison, a virus with a different mode of transmission and strategy of survival was studied. For this purpose adenovirus was chosen.
