Q

Why is it generally not a good idea to
vaccinate an animal that is currently ill?

A

Immune system is preoccupied with fighting off disease. If you vaccinate the bird now it’s trying to mount an immune response to the pathogen
and to the vaccine.

Q

Many pathogens have different ___, and the immune
response is ______ to each strain

A

Strains, unique

18
Q

Vaccine route must match what?

A

Age of the bird

19
Q

What does it mean for a vaccine to be “hot”?

A

Vaccine reactions, birds will get sick

20
Q

Hotter the vaccine, you get better….

21
Q

ILT depends on….

A

Cell mediated immunity

22
Q

Why is date of vaccine important?

A

Factor in when cell mediated immunity is matured

23
Q

Why is vaccination preparation important?

A

Some vaccines need to be heated up or stored in really specific conditions to be effective

24
Q

What are the 4 types of vaccines commonly used in the poultry industry?

A
  1. Modified live
  2. Recombinant (vectored)
  3. Inactivated (killed) vaccines (bacterins for bacterial pathogens)
  4. Gene deleted (type of live vaccine)
25
What are modified live vaccines?
LIVE pathogens that have been reduced in their ability to cause disease
26
What important with modified live vaccines in terms of making the vaccine?
Pathogen needs to be attenuated (weakened) first
27
What are 4 methods of attenuating live virus vaccines?
1. Passage through cell lines/embryos 2. Use of a naturally non-virulent or low path strain 3. Inoculation of the vaccine via different route than that used by pathogen 4. Deletion of certain gene segments for pathogenicity (gene deleted)
28
What are some potential benefits to modified live vaccines?
1. Longer immunity compared to killed vaccines 2. Easier to administer on large scale (water or spray) 3. Allows circulation through the flock (still get contact spread)
29
What are some potential negatives to modified live vaccines?
1. Can have reversion to pathogenicity 2. Don’t have as much control over vaccine coverage of the flock (DISPERSION IS REALLY IMPORTANT) 3. Can have rolling or “hot” reactions 4. Vaccine reaction can be exacerbated by poor environmental conditions.
30
What is a recombinant vaccine?
Vaccines that used for protection against viruses or bacteria
31
What are 3 common recombinant vaccines?
1. ILT 2. IBD 3. Newcastle
32
What is a killed vaccine?
Vaccine contains whole (killed) organisms or portions of the organism that are needed to activate the immune response
33
Killed vaccines can only be administered by _____ only.
Injection (IM or subQ)
34
What do you used with killed vaccines and why?
Adjuvant used to help boost the immune system
35
What are some advantages of killed vaccines?
1. More control over vaccination of the flock (all birds accounted for and vaccinated.) 2. Provides excellent humoral immunity (important for breeder flocks)
36
What are some disadvantages of killed vaccines?
1. Very labor intensive (vaccine crews) 2. More biosecurity risks bringing in outside vaccine crews 3. Immunity generally doesn’t last as long compared to programs that utilize live vaccines (but combo of live and killed is best) 4. Immunity very dependent on vaccine handling and crew effectiveness
37
What are autogenous vaccines?
Vaccines created to target specific strains of bacteria causing issues on certain farms/premises
38
What vaccines are made specific to a farm/company?
Autogenous
39
What are autogenous vaccines made out of?
Made of whole killed bacterial organisms with extraction/elimination of endotoxins (gram negatives)
40
What are 3 examples of autogenous vaccines?
1. Pasteurella multocida 2. Salmonella sp. 3. Mycoplasma sp
41
Vaccine schedules depend on?
Geograph regions and what diseases are present
