Interference between pairs of cold-adapted (ca) influenza A and B vaccine reassortant viruses and between ca influenza B reassortant viruses and wild-type influenza strain A/PR/8/34 was studied in embryonated eggs and/or in the respiratory tract of three strains of mice. Interference in eggs between ca A and B reassortants occurred after 2 days but was masked by later cycles of growth. When doses of 10(6) EID50 of the reassortant viruses B/60/32/R and A/47/6/R were administered to outbred mice, interference with the growth of A/47/6/R occurred in the turbinates; interference with the growth of B/60/32/R did not occur. However, interference with the growth of B/60/32/R was noted in the lungs of Balb/c mice after co-infection with 10(6) EID50 of both A/PR/8/34 and B/60/32/R. Interference did not occur when the dose of B/60/32/R was increased to 10(7) EID50 per mouse. When CBA mice were co-infected with 10(6) EID50 of both B/60/32/R and the influenza A ca reassortant R/34, or 10(6) EID50 of B/60/32/R,R/34 and A/Leningrad/134/57, interference did not occur. Interference could not be detected in mice following dual infection from serum responses to individual viruses.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged globally in 2019, impacting health and the economy, leading to the development of various vaccine types.
  • Researchers tested an intranasal vaccine using a Newcastle disease virus vector expressing the SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant spike protein in mice, finding it effective against subsequent viral challenges.
  • The study showed that intranasal vaccination induced strong mucosal immunity and high survival rates, suggesting it could be a promising candidate for protecting against COVID-19.

Background: The canine influenza virus (CIV) outbreak has garnered considerable attention as it poses a significant threat to dog health. During the H3N2 CIV evolution in beagles, the virus formed a new clade after 2019 and gradually became more adaptable to other mammals. Therefore, successfully elucidating the biological characteristics and constructing a canine influenza infection model is required for CIV characterization.

Background: The use of traditional medicine against viral diseases in animal production has been practiced worldwide. Herbal extracts possess organic substances that would improve chicken body performance.

Aim: The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of either thyme or ginseng oil in regard to their immune-modulatory, antiviral, and growth promoter properties.

Oil-based inactivated ND vaccines are a commonly used control strategy for this endemic disease in Egypt. One of the major limitations of these inactivated vaccines is the time taken to develop a protective response in vaccinated birds. In the present study, we aimed to formulate an inactivated oil-based ND vaccine incorporated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that stimulates the early onset innate response to inactivated vaccines via proinflammatory cytokine production.

Article Synopsis
  • Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a type of coronavirus that primarily affects chickens, leading to a disease called infectious bronchitis (IB).
  • This study investigates the effects of chicken sex on IBV pathogenesis and immune responses by comparing infected male and female chicks, looking at various tissues and immune markers.
  • Results indicated no significant differences in IBV shedding or immune responses between sexes, except for a slightly higher level of IBV antigen in the kidneys of males and increased CD8+ T cell recruitment in the tracheas of females at certain time points post-infection.
