FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT FORMAT R5033CB Field Trials of the Capripox/Rinderpest Recombinant Virus
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Diseases caused by capripox viruses affects around 650 million sheep & goats (pox diseases) and 250 million cattle (lumpy skin disease). This constitutes a massive economic burden for many resourcepoor farmers in Africa, damaging their livelihoods and ability to increase their income. The current vaccines are expensive and difficult to deliver as they need a sophisticated cold chain. The purpose of this project was to test a dual capripox/rinderpest virus vaccine that protects cattle against lumpy skin disease and rinderpest and sheep and goats against pox diseases under African conditions The specific scientific/technical aims of the project were:

Genetically marked vaccines for improved control or eradication of Rinderpest and antigenically related diseases
Rinderpest is a serious contagious disease of cattle, Asian buffalo, yak and many other herbivores both domesticated and wild, including swine, African buffalo, giraffe and lesser kudu. Rinderpest is caused by a virus which is related closely to that of human measles, canine distemper, peste des petits ruminants and other viruses in the morbillivirus subgroup of the paramyxoviruses. Rinderpest,...

متن کاملA new approach to develop a vaccine against capripox infection in sheep and goats using a new strain of sheep pox virus in Iran
This report describes the preparation of a safe and immunogenic single vaccine against capripox disease in sheep and goats using two different types of cells (primary lamb kidney and vero, a bovine turbinate cell line). This used the 0240 pox strain isolated from sheep during an outbreak. The prepared vaccine was administered subcutaneously and induced complete protection against an experimenta...
متن کاملLong-term protective immunity to rinderpest in cattle following a single vaccination with a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the virus haemagglutinin protein.
A recombinant vaccine, produced by using a highly attenuated smallpox vaccine (LC16mO) as a vector and which expresses the rinderpest virus (RPV) haemagglutinin protein, has been developed. The properties of this vaccine, including its heat stability, efficacy in short-term trials, safety and genetic stability, have been confirmed in an earlier report. In the present study, the duration of the ...
