name:	Recognition of a B-cell epitope of the VapA protein of Rhodococcus equi in newborn and experimentally infected foals.
description:	Six additional new-born foals showed antibody titres against the epitope at 6-8 weeks of age without developing clinical symptoms of disease, suggesting these animals may have been naturally infected and recovered before any signs of illness could manifest.
