of available vaccines.
At this time, there is not a commercially
available vaccine for the prevention of heartworm disease in dogs or cats.
As a part of VIOLIN, we have developed Vaxign, the first web - based publically
available vaccine target design tool based on bioinformatics analysis of genome sequences using the strategy of reverse vaccinology.
Currently
available vaccines cover all variants of canine including CPV - 2c as do all the commercially available diagnostic test kits.

Scientific research has demonstrated that there are multiple variants of OspC that have been associated with Lyme - infected dogs.1 Stimulating the immune system to develop a relevant OspC response has been challenging because until today, it was not immunologically feasible to develop a vaccine that includes whole - length OspC proteins.2 Existing commercially
available vaccines contain at most only one type of OspC.

«The option of rapidly creating a completely synthetic formulation that can be effective as a vaccine is an important addition to currently
available vaccine strategies,» says Hidde Ploegh, an MIT professor of biology, a member of the Whitehead Institute, and an author of the paper, who added that it will be important to assess safety and cost.

available vaccines do not contain all serovars, and duration of immunity is probably about 1 year.
Of the 468 dogs with
available vaccine histories, 401 of 423 (94.8 %) had an adequate response to CPV for more than 1 year after vaccination, and 390 of 412 (94.7 %) had an adequate response to CDV for more than 1 year after vaccination.
Our vaccination recommendations are tailored to each individual pet and depend on factors such as species, age, risk of exposure, history of reaction, severity of disease, and efficacy
of available vaccines.
Currently
available vaccines for cats include: FVRCP + (feline viral rhinotracheitis - calicivirus - panleukopenia - chlamydia), FeLV (feline leukemia virus), FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), and rabies.
Currently available vaccines for dogs include: DAP (distemper - hepatitis - adenovirus — parainfluenza - parvovirus), Corona, Bordatella, Lyme, and Rabies.
The first of its kind for Elanco, the new state - of - the - art facility is dedicated solely on manufacturing customized, high - quality inactivated vaccines for the poultry industry that will assist in the prevention of unique disease challenges and protection from food safety issues that can't be addressed with
commercially available vaccines.
The minister said that the country had dealt with measles and persistent case of measles across the country despite
the available vaccines, adding that government has already commenced nationwide campaign against measles.
Many individual studies have looked at how effective
the available vaccines were at preventing illness and hospitalisation caused by the pandemic influenza strain but up until now no - one has summarised all the available data.
«We want to prove that it exists and then use
the available vaccines to prevent it.»
Since the most severe infections are caused by influenza type A and type B viruses,
the available vaccines provide coverage against these two types.
Ongoing employee communication and having
available vaccine were also key factors, Dr. Weinmann says.
There is
no available vaccine or specific medicine for dengue fever.
The available vaccine won't necessarily prevent a dog from getting the flu, but it is helpful in reducing the severity of the illness should a dog become infected.
At Hallett Veterinary Hospital, each patient's history is evaluated to determine the need for
the available vaccines, including any previous adverse effects from vaccines, and any previous medical conditions that would increase need or risk.
At this time in the UAE we do not routinely vaccinate rabbits since we have not seen any of the two common rabbit disease - Myxomatosis or Viral Hemorrhagic Disease — that have
available vaccines.
There are many different strains of the FIV virus and it is not entirely clear as of yet how well
the available vaccine protects against all these different strains, but studies suggests that it is able to provide a valuable degree of protection for cats at risk of exposure.
Certain feline illnesses are preventable and have
available vaccines.
The available vaccine covers 4 of the more common types of leptospirosis and should be repeated annually if there is continued risk of exposure.
All currently
available vaccines are inactivated (killed) virus products and require two doses given 2 - 4 weeks apart.
If you believe your dog is at risk of contracting canine influenza, you may want to speak with your veterinarian about
the available vaccines, now available for both strains.
In addition, minor genetic changes often do not affect the antigenicity of the virus and have no impact on the efficacy of currently
available vaccines.
Although the cross-reactivity of
the available vaccine with the current virus is unknown, many boarding and grooming facilities will be requiring dogs to be vaccinated.
