Prevention & Control Flashcards
Two questions for vaccine use:
Can the vaccine control the disease?
Do risks of vaccination outweigh the benefits?
Examples of passive immunity:
Colostrum
Transplacental
Immune Serum Administration (Like tetanus antitoxin)
Examples of Active Immunity:
Natural infection
Vaccination
How do they make modified live vaccines?
Grow it in cell culture that lessens its virulence
Advantages of Modified Live Vaccines-
Produces good immune response with limited doses
Adjuvants aren’t necessary
Less chance for hypersensitivity
Cellular & Humoral Response
Disadvantages of Modified Live Vaccine:
May induce dz
Usually not rec. in pregnant animals
Risk of contamination
Immunosuppression
Handling requirements
Advantages of Inactivated Vaccines:
Stable in storage
Safe-unlikely to cause disease
Types of Inactivated vaccines:
Bacterins
Toxoids
Killed Virus
Disadvantages of Inactivated vaccines:
Multiple doses required
Immunity is short lived
Anaphylaxis
Expensive
Rxn to Adjuvants
Variable cellular immunity
Routes of Vaccine Administration:
Intranasal
Oral
Parenteral- SQ, IM, ID
Intranasal Vaccine provides what type of immunity?
Local & Systemic
Oral Vaccine provides what type of immunity?
Local & Systemic
Parenteral Vaccine provides what type of immunity?
Systemic ONLY
What is the rule of thumb for food animal vaccine withdrawal times?
21 days, but READ the label
What is the benefit of intranasal vaccines?
reduces shedding of organisms
(especially of ones that the animal may already have)
Where do all the Food animals get their vaccines:
Subcutaneous in cervical region
Axillary space in SR & Pigs
Flank if pig < 40lbs
Where do equine get their vaccines:
Intramuscular
Cervical Muscles
Pectoral, Semimem & Semiten
Examples of increased times of exposure:
Seasons
Congregation of Animals
Increased times of stress
Pregnancy
Disease prevention:
Proactive approach to maintain the health of animals prior to hazard exposure
Disease Control:
Once disease is detected, actions taken to prevent new cases of disease, detect new cases as early as possible, and to limit disease impact
Factors that contribute to health & disease:
Nutrition, Immunity, Environment, Genetics
Disease outcomes are commonly ___________
multifactorial
Intense genetic selection effect on dz outcomes:
May reduce survivability by altering disease resistance
Epigenetics:
The study of how environment can cause changes in how genes are expressed
