Uses of Single Dose Dependent and Relative Potency Assays for Evaluation of Inactivated Fowl Cholera Vaccine

Journal of World's Poultry Research

Fowl cholera is a septicemic respiratory complex caused by Pasteurella multocida, widely distributed in poultry and other avian species and of major economic importance. A total of 37 different inactivated Pasteurella multocida vaccines from different sources either locally prepared or imported from different sources were comparatively tested for relative potency following both single dose and booster dose vaccination assays. The study objective was to minimize the time factor exhausted in the evaluation processes of the inactivated fowl cholera vaccines. So it is planned to compare between single and booster dose vaccinations and their related potency. Correlation between protection associated with the single dose and booster dose vaccination were evaluated and average requirement for protection was 43.7% in single dose vaccination assay compared to 76.2 % associated with booster dose vaccination assay. In the same concern, the correlation between both assays for the seroconversion was estimated using ELISA and the minimum requirement was 1.8× cut off value in the single dose vaccination assay compared to 2.25× cut off value in the booster dose vaccination assay. In conclusion, single dose vaccination assay could be valuable in the evaluation of inactivated fowl cholera vaccines through determination of protection indices and/or estimation of humoral immune response if the above mentioned data is considered.

Efficacy of Inactivated Fowl Cholera Vaccine in Chickens

2018

Fowl cholera is highly prevalent bacterial disease in poultry population of India. Several areas of India have been reported with outbreaks of fowl cholera. Fowl cholera severely affects the health of flocks, causes morbidity and mortality. Drop in egg production with worsened egg quality also results due to poor health of flock. The disease is also prevalent in village chicken and vaccination is the effective tool to control the prevalence of the disease. In present research, 30 specific pathogen free birds were divided into vaccinated (Group 1; 20 birds) and control (Group 2; 10 birds) groups. Birds from group 1 were vaccinated with inactivated fowl cholera vaccine and 14 days later given booster dose. After 21 days of booster dose, both groups were challenged with virulent strain of fowl cholera disease. At 7 days interval blood was collected and serology was performed for presence of antibodies against the disease with ELISA technique. The vaccine was found effective with respec...

In Process Quality Control Factors Affecting Potency of Fowl Cholera Vaccine

International Journal of Biology

Fowl cholera (FC) is one of the respiratory syndromes of commercial layer, breeder and broiler farms in Pakistan. The disease is mainly controlled by vaccination. In the present study, effect of “in process quality control” factors such as amount of immunogen, chemical nature of adjuvant, fractions of bacterial culture and its storage on potency of the vaccine was investigated. Immunogen amount (1011CFU/ml) induced serum anti-Pasteurella multocida ELISA (anti-PM-ELISA) antibody titer in the vaccinated birds on 32 days post vaccination that was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of 109 and 1010CFU/ml. Montanide based whole culture vaccine induced better antibody response as compare to aluminum hydroxide gel. Washed culture of P. multocida (bacterial sediment) induced significantly higher anti-PM-ELISA antibody titer as compared to the vaccine prepared from purified LPS or whole culture vaccine (p<0.05). Storage of oil based FC vaccine at refrigerated temperatur...

Development of washed cell fowl cholera vaccine in Bangladesh

2004

An experiment was conducted to develop washed cell fowl cholera (WCFC) vaccine with virulent avian Pasteurella multocida (PM 38) serotype 1 (X-73). A total of 20 Fayoumi birds of either sex of 10 weeks aged were divided into two groups as group A (immunized with washed cell fowl cholera vaccine) and group B (unvaccinated control). Primary vaccination was given through IM route in each birds of group A and booster dose was given through SC route after 15 days of primary vaccination. The presence of antibody against P. multocida was determined by slide agglutination test (SAT) and growth inhibition test (GIT). The degree of antibody levels of prevaccination and post vaccination sera were determined by passive haemagglutination assay (PHA). Sera mean PHA titres at 15, 21, 28 and 42 days post-vaccination in group A were 30.4±4.43, 46.4±6.06, 67.2±11.14 and 134.4±22.28 respectively. The present results revealed that WCFC vaccine worked satisfactory in terms of protection rate against Avian Pasteurellosis. It was also demonstrated that experimental WCFC vaccine conferred 80% protection against challenge infection when all chickens of control group failed to survive against challenge infection.

Evaluation of inactivated vaccine against fowl cholera developed from local isolates of Pasteurella multocida in Ethiopia

2019

Fowl cholera caused by Pasteurella multocida is among the serious infectious diseases of poultry in Ethiopia. This study was conducted to develop a vaccine from local strains of P. multocida and evaluate its performance. Inactivated vaccine was prepared following the OIE standards in three adjuvant formulations (oil, alum and gel). The performance of the different formulations was evaluated at different dose rates (0.5 and 1 mL) and routes (subcutaneous, SC and interamuscular, IM) in vaccination-challenge experiment in a total of 160 (six weeks old) chicken. The vaccinated groups showed significantly higher (P<0.05) mean antibody titer at day 21 (1365.49±376.97) and day 35 (1707±193.95) post-vaccination compared to the mean value at day 0 (200.01±4.91) and that of the unvaccinated group (196.72±10.51.147). The highest antibody titer obtained was for group vaccinated with 0.5 mL of alum-adjuvanted vaccine given IM (2472.96±603.47). The differences in antibody titer among vaccinate...

Hematology of layers chickens vaccinated with fowl cholera vaccine and experimentally inoculated with virulent Pasteurella multocida serotypes in Zaria, Nigeria

Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research, 2017

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate some hematological parameters in commercial layers inoculated with two virulent Pasteurella multocida serotypes. Materials and Methods: A total of 84 twenty-week-old black Harco layers were randomly assigned to seven groups (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) with 12 birds per group. 1mLof live attenuated fowl cholera (FC) vaccine was administered subcutaneously at 24 weeks of age to groups A and B, emulsified inactivated (killed) FC vaccine was administered dosed at 0.5 mL per bird subcutaneously at 24 weeks of age to groups C and D, groups E and F were not vaccinated, while group G served as control. Groups A, C and E were inoculated with P. multocida serotype A:1 and groups B, D and F were inoculated with P. multocida serotype A:3. Using McFarland Standard, each bird received a dose of 0.5 mL (0.1 mL intranasally and 0.4 mL intramuscularly) containing 4.5 x 10 8 cfu/bird. Results: For PCV (P≤0.2692 and P≤0.7643) and HB (P≤0.2806 and P≤0.7266) on day 2 and 10 post inoculation, there was no significant difference between the vaccinated, non-vaccinated groups and control group G. However, there was a highly significant difference P≤0.05 in the mean concentrations of ALP between the control group G (67.67±1.453 u/l) vaccinated groups A (80.33±4.98 u/l), B (81.33±2.60 u/l), C (75±6.35 u/l), and D (84±5.132 u/l) and unvaccinated groups E (104±1.528 u/l), and F (78 ±3.512 u/l) post inoculation. Conclusion The PCV significantly decrease P≤0.05 in layers vaccinated and inoculated with P. multocida but increase in unvaccinated layers inoculated P. multocida. The mean serum ALP concentration significantly increase P≤0.05 in unvaccinated layers inoculated with P. multocida when compared to layers vaccinated and inoculated with P. multocida.
