Abstract:

Abstract Background and Aims: Vaccination of poultry has a major impact on the prevention and control of avian influenza viruses. Nanobiotechnology techniques provide a new approach for improvement of influenza vaccine efficacy. In this study, efficacy of an inactivated nano-adjuvant vaccine developed based on an endemic H9N2 virus was evaluated in SPF chickens. Materials and Methods: In each three trial 40 specific pathogen free (SPF) white Leghorn chickens were used in four groups. Chickens from treatment groups (n= 10) via subcutaneous route received a single dose of the nano-adjuvant or the oil emulsion Razi® H9N2 vaccines. Chickens in the control group C received antigen only. All the birds were challenged with H9N2 strain on day 21 post-vaccination. Cloacal and tracheal swabs were taken at 1-10 days post-challenge and viral shedding was examined using inoculation of SPF embryonated eggs. Results: Both vaccinated SPF chicken groups induced complete protection against clinical signs. Viral shedding in the nano-adjuvant H9N2 vaccinated chickens was completely blocked after challenge with a homologous H9N2 virus. Statistical analysis based on the protection effects of the chickens immunized with nano-adjuvant and the Razi® H9N2 vaccine showed no significant difference, but there was a significant difference to un-vaccinated group. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that the nano-adjuvant vaccine was efficacious in protection of SPF chickens over H9N2 infection. Further field experiments are needed to demonstrate the efficacy of the vaccines under field conditions.

Effectiveness of two H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza conventional inactivated oil emulsion vaccines on H9N2 viral replication and shedding in broiler chickens

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two conventional H9N2 avian influenza (AI) vaccines on replication and shedding of the H9N2 AI virus in broiler chickens. These inactivated oil emulsion vaccines contain either a UAE or an Iranian H9N2 AI isolate. One hundred and fifty one-day-old commercial broiler chickens were randomly divided into six groups. The birds, except for the...

Experimental Study on Tissue Tropism and Dissemination of H9n2 Avian Influenza Virus and Ornithobacterium Rhinotracheale Co- Infection in Spf Chickens

Forty-two, one-day-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens were randomly divided into two groups. On 21st day of study, experimental group was infected intraocularly with 1×106 EID50 of H9N2 and intratracheally with 1× 1010 CFU of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT). Control group was inoculated with sterile PBS intraocularly. The samples from various tissues were collected on days 2, 4, 6,...

Influenza virus‐like particles harboring H9N2 HA and NA proteins induce a protective immune response in chicken

BACKGROUND Avian influenza viruses represent a growing threat of an influenza pandemic. The co-circulation of multiple H9N2 genotypes over the past decade has been replaced by one predominant genotype-G57 genotype, which displays a changed antigenicity and improved adaptability in chickens. Effective H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus vaccines for poultry are urgently needed. OBJECTIVE In thi...
