(Animal vaccines are licensed based on challenge — considered the only true test of
protective immunity — where unvaccinated animals are infected
with a virus to manifest clinical illness and vaccinated animals remain healthy.)
In 2003, the American Animal Hospital Association Canine Vaccine Task Force evaluated the data from these challenge and serological studies and, while noting that the core vaccines had a minimum duration of
immunity of at least seven years, compromised in 2003
with the statement that «revaccination every 3 years is considered
protective.»
A unique combination of factors comes together in a shelter environment: high population density, admission of animals
with unknown history of disease exposure, lack of
protective immunity, stress, parasites, inadequate facilities, and improper infection control procedures.
We have assessed duration of
protective immunity primarily by two procedures; the first is held to be the «gold standard and that is to challenge the vaccinated animal
with the virulent organism, the second method is to measure antibody and compare the antibody titer to that which is known to prevent infection (e.g. provide sterile
immunity).
There is also a particular need for replication and extension of our finding that greater
protective parenting was associated
with a significant shift in cell - type composition in the direction of relatively fewer CD14 monocytes (a marker of innate
immunity), suggesting potential long - term impact on chronic inflammation (Irwin and Cole, 2011).
