Kat just sent me the address today. She is so sweet to make this
series by Danee available for all, and Danee is so wonderful to have
written it!
When I first read the virology articles (quoted in my last post on
ADV) I was surprised to learn that the previous exposure to Parvo vax
worsens the cases of ADV, but in at least one of those cited articles
the researchers explain why (I think it was in one of the British
studies) and it makes complete sense since the problem with ADV is
not the disease itself but that it causes the immune system to go
into overdrive and that immune response is what causes a lot of
plague deposits to be formed in tissues. Why that particular type of
vaccine doesn't work for protection is also explained. The virology
articles (Journal of Virology, and NIH) quoted in my posts in
http://www.smartgroups.com/message/viewdiscussion.cfm?
gid=1423922&messageid=14768
or
http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/browse.php?msg=SG14769
are worth reading in full if anyone is strongly interested in ADV.
