The aim of the present study was to compare intramuscular injection with a needle and intradermic needle-free vaccinations against porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in piglets at 28 days old by studying behavioral physiological reactions. A total 72 divided into 2 sex-balanced batches were assessed. Within each batch, three treatments, which Hipradermic (0.2 ml UNISTRAIN® PRRS vaccine administered an device), Intramuscular (IM, 2.0 vaccine), Control (not vaccinated). Before...
African horse sickness (AHS) is a viral disease that causes high morbidity and mortality rates in susceptible Equidae therefore significant economic losses. More rapid, sensitive specific assays are required by diagnostic laboratories to support effective surveillance programmes. A novel microsphere-based immunoassay (Luminex assay) which beads coated with recombinant AHS virus (AHSV) structural protein 7 (VP7) has been developed for serological detection of antibodies against VP7 any AHSV...
Movements of animals and animal products are one the most important ways disease introduction spread between regions countries. Maybe complex species in terms diversity uses, nature extent movements equidae, for which movement records usually not available.

African horse sickness (AHS) is one of the most important vector-borne viral infectious diseases equines, transmitted mainly by Culicoides spp. The re-emergence Culicoides-borne in Europe, such as recent bluetongue (BT) or Schmallenberg outbreaks, has raised concern about potential re-introduction and further spread AHS virus (AHSV) Europe. Spain largest European equine populations. In addition, its geographical, environmental entomological conditions favour AHSV infections, shown historical...
In the field, vaccination schedules based on modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines administered twice in gilts and every three to four months sows are commonly used immunize breeding herds against porcine reproductive respiratory (PRRSV). Breeding repeatedly vaccinated several other agents. Thus, combined administration of for their simultaneous use can simplify such complex immunization schedules. Here, we evaluated safety long-term immunity authorized a PRRSV MLV vaccine an inactivated...
African horse sickness (AHS) is considered a fatal re-emergent vector-borne disease of horses. In the absence any effective treatment for AHS, vaccination remains most form control. The new generation vaccines, such as one based on purified, inactivated AHS virus (AHSV, serotype 4), which does not induce antibodies against non-structural protein 3 (NS3), enables development diagnostic methods that differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA assays). As detecting in AHSV-free...
Abstract Europe has experienced an increasing number of emerging vector-borne diseases and the recrudescence or re-emergence others. Global warming offers suitable conditions for arthropod proliferation, some which can be competent vectors such diseases. With increased risk introduction potentially infected animals because shortened travelling times to any part world, are likely emerge if vector proliferation hosts found at destination. Vector-borne generally complex deal with, so...
