Prevenntive Medicine Flashcards
Modified live vaccine
vaccine has live microorganisms that have lost their virulence but retained ability to induce protective immunity
Live virulent vaccine
vaccine containing the fully virulent form of the disease causing agent
Killed virus vaccine
Vaccine prepared from killed viruses
Live avirulent bacteria vaccine
Vaccine prepared from live bacteria that have lost their virulence but retained their ability to induce protective immunity
Bacterin
Vaccine prepared from killed bacteria
Recombinant vaccine
Vaccines that contains a live virus or bacteria
genetically engineered to create proteins
that induce immunity to the pathogenic virus or bacteria
that normally produces them
Subunit vaccine
Vaccine containing only specific antigenic proteins of the infectious agent
Toxoid
A toxin treated by heat or chemical agent to destroy its harmful properties
without destroying its ability to stimulate the production of antibodies
Monovalent vaccine
Vaccine prepared from only one strain or species of microorganism
Polyvalent vaccine
Vaccine prepared from multiple strains of species of microorganisms
Core vaccine
Vaccines recommended for all members of the species because the pathogens are widely distributed and poses substantial risk of severe disease
Noncore vaccine
Vaccines used at the discretion of the veterinarian and the client
Antigenicity
The capacity to stimulate the production of antibodies or cell mediated immune responses
Adjuvant
