immunology vacc dairy cattle (Risco) Flashcards
1
Q
Ideal vaccine
A
- prolonged immunity
- free adverse side effects
- inexpensive
- stable
- response distinguishable from natural infection
2
Q
Designing vaccine program
A
- disgned per needs of herd
- risk assessment
- dz hx
- biosecurity, animal movement
- vaccination hx
- breeding management: bulls used?
- intended management scheme and management practices
- risk assessment
3
Q
Disease occurs when
A
herd immunity drops below level of disease pressure
4
Q
Declining immunity
A
- stress
- weather
- poor nutrition
- calving
- disease challenge
- booster lapse
5
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
- vaccines against enteric calf pathogens
6
Q
maternal antibody interference
A
- may be a problem with some vaccines (minimal)
- mostly for diseases for which humoral immunity is primary protective mechanism
7
Q
DZ that stimulate primarily cell-mediated protection
A
- BRSV
- BHV-1
- Parainfluenza virus
- leptospira borgpetersennii
*not blocked by maternal antibody
8
Q
DZ that stim humoral response (antibody)
A
- BVD
- Mannheimia haemolytica
- Pasteurella multocida
*blocked by maternal antibody
9
Q
Neonatal corticosteroids
A
- birth to 5 days
- systemic immune resonse decreased dramatically during first few days of life
- worst at 3 days
- back to normal at 5 days
10
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
11
Q
Factors influencing vaccine efficacy
Stress
A
- don’t vaccinate 1 week before or 1 week after stressful procedures
- castration
- dehorning
- weaning and movement
12
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
13
Q
How to assess vaccine efficacy
A
- look at label
14
Q
Label claims
USDA allows….
A
- Prevention of infection: Lepto is only one
- Prevention of disease
- Aid in disease prevention
- Aid in disease control
- Other
- pathogen shedding reduction
15
Q
Modified live (attenuated)
advantages
A
- strong and long-acting immunity
- effective intranasal and orally
- less risk hypersensitivity
- may stimulate interferon
- humoral and CMI
