Concurrent use of the foot-and-mouth disease and other vaccines in livestock.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a viral infection affecting cloven-hoofed animals, persists as an endemic challenge worldwide, causing significant economic losses. Vaccination is a pivotal strategy for disease control, especially in endemic regions where it may be the sole option. In FMD-free countries, "vaccination to cull" strategies are increasingly considered to prevent disease spread.

Implementing an Organizational Culture of Biosafety and Biosecurity in the ŞAP Institute.

An organizational culture of biosafety and biosecurity is critical for effective management of transboundary animal diseases. One essential aspect of this work is keeping important pathogens studied in veterinary laboratories under control. Türkiye is among the countries that are both endemic and disease-free for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus, and it has a unique institute dedicated to FMD diagnosis, control, and vaccine production.

Immune response against lumpy skin disease after simultaneous vaccination of cattle with sheep pox and goat pox and foot and mouth disease vaccines.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) and Lumpy skin disease (LSD) are contagious viral diseases that cause significant economic damage in the livestock industry of countries. Cattle are vaccinated two times a year with FMD and sheep pox and goat pox vaccines (SGP) within 30-day intervals to combat both diseases in Türkiye. However, vaccinations in different periods increase vaccination costs, labor, and distress on animals.

Evaluation of Quil-A, E. coli DNA and Montanide™ ISA 206 adjuvant combination on the antibody response to foot-and-mouth disease vaccine in sheep.

Vaccination is one of the basic strategies in the fight against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in endemic regions. Today, commercially available FMD vaccines are prepared with inactive whole virion, which has low immunogenicity. Therefore, considerable effort has been devoted to finding novel adjuvants.

Antibody response of sheep to simultaneous vaccination of foot-and-mouth disease, peste des petits ruminants, sheep pox and goat pox, and bluetongue vaccines.

There are many infectious animal diseases in T urkey and generally, vaccination is the primarly control strategy to combat them. However, it is difficult to apply all vaccines in a definite period in the field due to limitations of the labor and finance. Rapid vaccination and effective use of labor can be possible with the help of simultaneous vaccine administrations.
