These include enterotoxin, haemolysin and K88 antigen in piglet enteropathogenic strains and enterotoxin and K99 antigen production in calf and lamb enteropathogenic strains; most strains that cause generalized infections in young domestic mammals, i.e.

Protein-Energy Malnutrition (Marasmus)
10/01/1987 - "
The kinetics of the protein energy malnutrition group's primary humoral immune response was retarded, thus significantly lower antibody levels to K99 antigen were observed 8 to 12 days postimmunization.
