Immunisation against infectious disease.

Heterologous Prime-Boost Immunisation Regimens Against Infectious Diseases

Development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases (such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV) has been hindered by the lack of effective immunisation strategies that induce the cellular arm of the immune system necessary for protection against these intracellular pathogens. DNA vaccines, recombinant proteins and recombinant viral vectors are all effective antigen delivery systems for...

Synbiotic enhances immune responses against infectious bronchitis, infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease and avian influenza in broiler chickens

Increased susceptibility of birds to avian pathogens in intensive husbandry system has emphasized on necessity of improvement of innate and specific immune responses of birds by the fast establishment of a beneficial microflora and immune stimulator factors to guarantee healthy and low-price products. During this study, 192 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross-380) in four groups with three replica...

Immunisation of Adult Sheep Against Brucella Infection

Immunisation against meningococcus B.

In populations less than this fi...
