Article Synopsis
- * Researchers aimed to test a new vaccination approach using an inactivated ASF virus preparation combined with potent adjuvants and various inoculation methods to enhance its effectiveness.
- * Results from the study showed that despite these efforts, all pigs vaccinated with the inactivated virus still exhibited clinical signs of ASF, indicating that this vaccination strategy may not be a practical solution.
Background: Porcilis® Ery+Parvo+Lepto is an octavalent inactivated ready-to-use vaccine that contains Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (Ery), porcine parvovirus (PPV), and six serogroups of Leptospira (Lepto). The efficacy of Porcilis® Ery + Parvo+Lepto against reproductive problems associated with porcine parvovirus (PPV) infection was evaluated in pregnant gilts. For this, a group of ninegilts was vaccinated twice (at 5 and 6 months old) with Porcilis® Ery + Parvo+Lepto (Group 1), while a group of eight gilts was included as unvaccinated controls (Group 2).
