Q

Designing vaccine program

A
  • disgned per needs of herd
    • risk assessment
      • dz hx
      • biosecurity, animal movement
      • vaccination hx

Q

Colostrum

A
  • can be thought of as a vaccine
  • Colostrum
    • immunoglobulins
    • functional maternal immune cells
    • interferon
    • other immune factors
  • vaccination to improve colostral quality
    • vaccines against enteric calf pathogens
      • E. Coli, rotavirus, coronavirus
    • look for specific data on vaccine you want to use

Q

maternal antibody interference

A
  • may be a problem with some vaccines (minimal)
  • mostly for diseases for which humoral immunity is primary protective mechanism

Q

Neonatal corticosteroids

A
  • birth to 5 days

Q

Second period of reduced systemic immune system responsiveness

A
  • between 3-5 weeks
  • poorly understood
  • corrosponds to when maternal T cells are disappearing from calf
    • in calves fed fresh colostrum
  • especially well documented for vaccines against the 4 primary viral diseases

Q

Factors influencing vaccine efficacy

Stage lactation

A
  • periparturient immune suppression
    • 3-4 weeks pre and post calving
    • delayed and decreased inflammatory responses
    • may also delay or impair responses to vaccines

Q

Modified live (attenuated)

advantages

A
  • strong and long-acting immunity
  • effective intranasal and orally
  • less risk hypersensitivity
  • may stimulate interferon
  • humoral and CMI

Q

Modified live (attenuated)

Disadvantages

A
  • mild systemic rxns occur
  • risk reversion to virulence
  • perpetuation of antigen in pop
  • abortion (depending on virus)
  • limited shelf life
17
Q

Killed (inactivated) vaccines

Advantages

A
  • unlikely to cause dz
  • stable in storage
18
Q

Killed (inactivated) vaccines

Disadvantages

A
  • incomplete inactivation
  • short-lived immunity
  • only parenteral route
  • hypersensitivity
  • adjuvants => local reactions
19
Q

booster importance

A
  • follow label directions
  • yearly booster recommended for MVL and killed
  • killed vaccines require booster before protection complete
20
Q

Responses to Killed vaccines

A
  • 1st administration => primary response
    • short lived
    • weak response
    • predominant antibody is IgM
  • 2nd administration => anamnestic response
    • stronger response
    • longer lived
    • predominant antibody is IgG
    • more memory
21
Q

Booster vaccination failure

A
  • booster given too early
    • anamnestic response doesn’t occur
  • too much time elapse before booster
    • booster acts as primary response
22
Q

modified live response

A
  • virus or bacteria grows in animal
    • don’t need a booster
    • stimulates primary and secondary response
23
Q

purpose of adult herd vaccination program

A
  • protect adult herd against high-prevalence or disastrous dz
  • promote reproductive efficiency
24
Q

Purpose of replacement herd vaccination program

A
  1. protect the calf against specific pathgens that are prevelant or would be disastrous
  2. prepare calf for entry into adult herd
25
Q

multiple antigens

A
  • Endotoxin load
    • adults: max 3 gram-negative antigens
    • young stock: max 2 gram-negative antigens
26
Q

Minimum US dairy herd vacc program

A
  • major viral dzs
    • BVD (types 1 and 2)
    • BHV-1
    • BRSV
    • P13
    • at least one MLV for replacements prior to first breeding
      • establishes strong baseline immunity
  • 5 primary leptospira serovars
  • major clostridial diseases
  • core endotoxin vaccines
  • brucellosis
27
Q

Leptospirosis

A
  • Host adapted: repro failure and abortion
    • L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo, type hardjo-bovis
    • L. interrogans serovar Pomona
  • Non host adapted: acute dz
    • L. kirshneri serova Grippotyphosa
    • L. interrogans serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae
    • L. interrogans serovar Canicola

*something about endemic in rats

*booster q 6 months I think

*classic example for concept of boostering

28
Q

always give a particular vaccine at….

A
  • particular site
    • helps ID cause of vaccine reactions
29
Q

On-going vaccination monitoring questions

A
  • Are we vaccinating at the right time?
  • Are we vaccinating against the right diseases?
  • Are we meeting our goals for dz control?

*Stay current
