Plain-English summary
A group of adult dogs with low antibody levels to canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV-2), and infectious canine hepatitis (CAdV-1) received a booster vaccine. Two months later, their antibody levels for CDV and CAdV-1 significantly increased, showing that the booster was effective for these viruses. However, the booster did not raise the antibody levels for CPV-2. This suggests that while the booster helps with CDV and CAdV-1, it may not be beneficial for CPV-2.

Abstract
ABSTRACTDomesticated adult dogs with antibody titer classified as below ‘high’ to one or more of canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus type‐2 (CPV‐2) and canine adenovirus type‐1 (CAdV‐1) were then given an additional inoculation, and the effectiveness of this booster evaluated 2 months later. Consequently, CDV and CAdV‐1 antibody titer experienced a significant increase, but the same effect was not observed in the antibody titer of CPV‐2. These findings suggest that with additional inoculation, a booster effect may be expected in increasing antibody titers for CDV and CAdV‐1, but it is unlikely to give an increase in CPV‐2 antibody titer.
