Determination of optimal age for single vaccination of growing pigs with foot-and-mouth disease bivalent vaccine in South Korea
نویسندگان
چکیده
In South Korea, pigs were vaccinated once between 8 and 12 weeks of age because of the injection-site granulomas. Therefore this study was performed to determine the optimal age for single vaccination of growing pigs with the currently used type O FMD vaccine. With 498 pigs divided into four groups, seroprevalence of the antibody was analyzed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Although double vaccination is necessary to completely protect growing pigs from FMD virus infection with the current vaccine, the age of 8 weeks can be considered as the optimal age for piglet vaccination if the booster injection is unavailable.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severely contagious viral disease that mainly affects cloven-hoofedlivestock and wildlife. This study quantifies the cytokines mRNA expression of vaccinated guinea pigs withFMD type O inactivated vaccine. Blood samples were collected from eight guinea pigs at 7 and 28 days after thefirst vaccination. Extracted mRNAs were reverse-transcribed into cDNA and analyz...
