The duration of immunity to pulpy kidney disease of sheep.

The production of a basic immunity against pulpy kidney disease.

Although the factors predisposing to the development of pulpy kidney disease are insufficiently known, the disease can be prevented by reducing the quantity or quality of food eaten by sheep. But such measures are inconsistent with optimal production a nd reproduction with the result that concerted efforts were made at developing effective vaccines. Bennetts ( 1932, 1936) was probably the first...

Studies on the Duration of Immunity conferred by a Live Modified Sheep Pox Tissue Culture Virus Vaccine

Evaluation of Humoral and Cell-mediated Immunity of Two Capripoxvirus Vaccine Strains against Lumpy Skin Disease Virus

Background and Aims: Prevention of Lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle is heavily dependent on vaccination. Since the genetic structure of LSD virus has the close relatedness with other Capri-pox virus (CaPV). Therefore, the use of vaccine strains of CaPV derived from sheep and goat would be useful to protect cattle against LSD. Materials and Methods: The susceptible calves of dairy farms were ...

Relationship between the history of kidney disease, clinical findings, hospitalization duration, and mortality in COVID-19 patients

Introduction: One of the most critical conditions in the world today is coronavirus (COVID-19). The rapid and unexpected incidence of the disease in various communities has been raised many concerns. Although the respiratory and immune systems are the main targets of COVID-19, acute kidney damage and protein excretion in the urine have also been reported. Managing the disease is even more chall...

A 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...
