Current and Future Applications of Viral-Vectored Recombinant Vaccines in Poultry
Published:October 7, 2016
Summary
Intro by Dr. Stephen Collett: Vectored vaccines have from their conception been promoted as the ultimate answer to the problems encountered when using immunization to reduce the impact of disease challenge on flock health and productivity. This interesting and thorough but succinct mini-review shows that the quest has unfortunately proven more complex than initially anticipated. Only recently h...
On the level of field application and from the point of protection is the use of whole virus antigenic mass traditional vaccines better than the vector vaccines .
Recombinant vaccines are being used by certain poultry integrators. CEVA is putting on the market a few recombinant vector vaccines. The Marek''s Disease Virus and the Fowl Pox viruses had been used as protective antigens for NCD; AI; ILT and MG. These vaccines are used at the Hatchery. In Africa, there are few poultry companies which are using these vaccines. They are the vaccines of the future.
