Control of avian mycoplasmoses by vaccination.
نویسنده
چکیده
Vaccination is an option for controlling Mycoplasma gallisepticum or M. synoviae when biosecurity measures fail to prevent the infection of poultry flocks with these mycoplasmas. Both killed vaccines (bacterins) and living vaccines are currently in commercial use. Bacterins usually contain an oil emulsion adjuvant and are administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. They can reduce the decline in egg production associated with M. gallisepticum, although they do not prevent infection. Newer adjuvants, such as immune stimulating complexes, may provide effective immunity without the tissue lesions caused by oil emulsion adjuvants. Living M. gallisepticum vaccines include the F strain and attenuated strains ts-11 and 6/85. F strain is administered in drinking water or by aerosol. This strain reduces the decline in egg production and has been used to displace endemic strains in multiple-age flocks. The major disadvantage is the inherent virulence of F strain. Strain ts-11 is less virulent and less infectious than F strain and provides a somewhat weaker, but usually effective, long-term protective immunity, which is vaccine-dose dependent. This strain is administered by eye drop, persists in the chicken for long periods and stimulates a detectable although variable systemic antibody response. Strain ts-11 can be used safely in combination with respiratory virus vaccines. Strain 6/85 also stimulates a weaker protective immune response than F strain and is of low virulence and infectivity. This strain is administered by aerosol, appears not to persist in vaccinated birds and may fail to stimulate a detectable systemic antibody response. Strain MS-H is currently being evaluated as a live vaccine against M. synoviae in meat chicken breeder flocks and is often used in conjunction with strain ts-11.

Efficacy of thermostable I-2 Newcastle disease vaccine compared to B1 commercial vaccine in broiler chicken
Frequent vaccination failures have occurred in the broiler farms in Eurasian countries during Newcastle disease outbreaks. The disease is enzootic in many countries of the region, especially in southwest Asia. I-2 vaccine has been used successfully in village chickens in many Asian and African countries. Our preliminary study showed good efficacy of the vaccine in broiler chickens. Therefore th...

Abstract Background and Aims: Vaccination of poultry has a major impact on the prevention and control of avian influenza viruses. Nanobiotechnology techniques provide a new approach for improvement of influenza vaccine efficacy. In this study, efficacy of an inactivated nano-adjuvant vaccine developed based on an endemic H9N2 virus was evaluated in SPF chickens. Materials and Methods: I...
متن کاملDetection and subtyping avian metapneumovirus from turkeys in Iran
Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) causes diseases like rhinotracheitis in turkeys, swollen head syndrome in chickens and avian rhinotracheitis in other birds. Causing respiratory problems, aMPV adversely affects production and inflicts immense economic losses and mortalities, especially in turkey flocks. In recent years, several serological and molecular studies have been conducted on this virus, es...
