Microbial contaminants found in low egg passage rabies vaccine used in Nigeria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacteriological and mycological examinations (cultural and biochemical characteristics) identified 4 pathogenic organisms as contaminants in 6 out of 7 LEP batch 20 rabies vaccines produced 1990 in Nigeria. Cryptococcus neoformans and Penicillium spp. were isolated from 5 vaccine samples, while one sample additionally also contained Rhizopus and Pseudomonas. One vaccine sample was negative for microbial contaminants. Improper conditions of vaccine production and storage are discussed.

Molecular basis of neurovirulence of flury rabies virus vaccine strains: importance of the polymerase and the glycoprotein R333Q mutation.
The molecular mechanisms associated with rabies virus (RV) virulence are not fully understood. In this study, the RV Flury low-egg-passage (LEP) and high-egg-passage (HEP) strains were used as models to explore the attenuation mechanism of RV. The results of our studies confirmed that the R333Q mutation in the glycoprotein (G(R333Q)) is crucial for the attenuation of Flury RV in mice. The R333Q...
متن کاملRabies antibody determination by immunofluorescence in tissue culture.
A tissue culture (TC)-fluorescent antibody (FA) technique for the measurement of rabies-neutralizing antibody was found to be reliable and comparable to the standard mouse serum neutralization test. This test was performed with BHK-21 cells infected with the ERA vaccine virus strain on Lab-Tek TC chamber slides. A Flury high egg passage (HEP) rabies virus strain grown on continuous line of Afri...
متن کاملSensitive procedure for detecting residual viable virus in inactivated rabies vaccine.
A procedure for testing inactivated rabies vaccines of tissue culture origin for residual viable virus is reported in which the vaccine to be tested is passed in primary hamster kidney cell culture (PHK) before mouse inoculation. In preliminary experiments, titrations of rabies virus in which each dilution was passed in PHK before inoculating mice yielded titers 100 to 10,000 times higher than ...
متن کاملInfection of the one-day old fertile hen's egg with rabies virus. III. Some observations on high egg passage (HEP) strains.
The previous reports from this laboratory (Yoshino et al., 1956 a, 1956 b) indicated that both mouse passaged CVS and 7-day egg passaged Flury strains of rabies virus could infect the 1-day egg resulting in high viral concentrations in the embryo which were comparable to those usually reached in the infected mouse brain, and that these strains after adapted to the 1-day egg by serial passage co...

This retrospective study of the patterns and efforts of the extensive vaccination programs for canine rabies control (EVPCRC) compared the prevalence rate (PR) of rabies under two different vaccination programs for dogs in Korea between 1962 and 2007. A total of 753 cases of rabid dogs were reported between 1962 and 2007, and there were 350 human cases reported in the same period. There wer...
