151 subjects, vaccinated by oral route with live influenza viruses attenuated in the USSR (bivalent A/England/42/72-B/Hong Kong/5/72 vaccine) and 66 non-vaccinated cohabitants have been studied. The vaccination did not cause any important side effect. The vaccine showed good immunizing activity: HI antibodies appeared in 91% of the subjects initially devoid of antibodies against A type and in 70% against B type. No viral diffusion occurred from the vaccinated to the cohabitants. During an A/Port Chalmers/1/73 epidemic the morbidity (3.3%) among the orally vaccinated patients turned out significantly lower than that among the non-vaccinated cohabitants (12.1%). The protection index was 72.6%.

Daily milk production and reproductive performance of cows vaccinated with a live double-deleted Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV) vaccine were compared to those of non-vaccinated cows, cohabitating in endemic BVDV herds. All animals in the treatment group were vaccinated on study day 0 irrespective of lactation or gestation status, while control animals did not receive any treatment. 1463 animals were enrolled in the study from four different farms in three different countries (UK, Italy, France).

Immediate vaccination of the most susceptible and epidemiological relevant animals is a crucial part of control measures that facilitate virus elimination in case of entry of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cattle vaccination 7 and 14 days prior challenge using a vaccine commonly applied in systematic vaccination campaigns against transmission of FMD virus (FMDV). Transmission of FMDV was investigated in three groups of ten cattle each: one non-vaccinated group and two groups that were either vaccinated 7 days (-7/vaccinated group) or 14 days (-14/vaccinated group) before intranasal (IN) inoculation.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus genotype IVb (VHSV-IVb) is presently found throughout the Laurentian Great Lakes region of North America. We recently developed a DNA vaccine preparation containing the VHSV-IVb () gene with a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter that proved highly efficacious in protecting muskellunge () and three salmonid species. This study was conducted to determine whether cohabitation of VHSV-IVb immunized fishes could confer protection to non-vaccinated (i.
