Q

attenuated

A

microorganisms are inactive but are able to replicate

20
Q

advantages to attenuated

A

lasts longer, better efficacy

21
Q

disadvantages to attenuated

A

possible abortion, mild forms of the disease, can shed into the environment

22
Q

examples of attenuated

A

DHLPP, FVRCP

23
Q

recombinant

A

gene or part of microorganism is removed from one organism and inserted into another microorganism

24
Q

advantages to recombinant

A

safe, effected, few side effects, varied routes of administration

25
Q

disadvantages to recombinant

A

increased cost

26
Q

recombinant type 1

A

taking gene from pathogen into recombinant organism

27
Q

recombinant type II

A

deleting genes from organism

28
Q

recombinant type III

A

insertion of specific pathogenic material into non-pathologic or gene-deleted organism

29
Q

toxoids

A

“vaccine” used against toxin or protein rather than bacteria or virus, toxin has been deactivated by heat or chemicals

30
Q

advantages of toxoids

A

provides protection against toxin

31
Q

disadvantages of toxoids

A

shorter duration of effectiveness, may contain adjuvants

32
Q

antitoxins

A

contain antibodies, obtained from animal that has been hypersensitized to neutralize toxins

33
Q

antitoxin advantages

A

quick protection from toxin

34
Q

antitoxin advantages

A

short-lived protection, may contain preservatives

35
Q

antiserum

A

antibody rich serum obtained from infected animal

36
Q

advantages to antiserum

A

provides quick protection against microorganism

37
Q

disadvantages to antiserum

A

shorter duration and effectiveness, may contain adjuvants

38
Q

autogenous

A

produced for specific disease in a specific area from sick animal

39
Q

advantages to autogenous

A

provides protection against specific organism

40
Q

disadvantages to autogenous

A

may contain endotoxin and by-products

41
Q

examples of autogenous

A

strangles vaccine

42
Q

multi-valent

A

polyvalent

43
Q

single valent

A

monovalent

44
Q

what can cause vaccine failure

A

heat, improper storage, inadequate handling, immunosuppression, maternal antibodies

45
Q

maternally derived antibodies

A

antibodies that offspring receive passively from mother

46
Q

possible vaccine reaction

A

reaction at inj location, facial swelling, redness, hives, fever lethargy, vomiting, salivation, dyspnea, sarcoma, hemolytic anemia

47
Q

what vaccine can you not give a pregnant animal?

A

live vaccines
