Abstract:
The present invention provides for a novel oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, with increased stability in the presence of bacterial or viral suspensions, especially those concentrated and non-purified (crude extracts) or minimally purified. The emulsion of the present invention can act as vehicle for the delivery of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one immunogen and, in particular, an immunogen selected from the group consisting of an inactivated pathogen, an attenuated pathogen, a subunit, a recombinant expression vector, and a plasmid or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses an effervescent Grape extract plus selenium composition which improves stress response. The invention also encompasses methods of improving stress response, such as stress response to vaccination or weaning, by administration of the composition. The invention also encompasses methods of producing meat with improved quality by raising an animal on a diet supplemented with an effervescent Grape extract plus selenium composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to oral, topical or injectable compositions for combating liver fluke parasites in mammals, comprising at least one benzimidazole derivative active agent. The invention also provides for an improved method for eradicating and controlling liver fluke parasite infections and infestations in a mammal comprising administering the compositions of the invention to the mammal in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides attenuated M. haemolitica strains that elicit an immune response in animal against M. haemolitica, compositions comprising said strains, methods of vaccination against M. haemolitica, and kits for use with such methods and compositions. The invention further provides multi-valent vaccines, which provide protective immunity when administered in an effective amount to animals susceptible to “shipping fever” or bovine respiratory disease.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the fields of immunology and vaccine technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for freeze-drying biological preparations, including peptides, antigens, antibodies, and especially, cells. Importantly, the disclosed methods preserve the viability, infectivity and immunogenicity of cells from the Apicomplexa phylum, the Sarcocystidae family, and in particular, cells from the Toxoplasma genus.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses vaccines or compositions comprising the chimeric KSAC protein that possesses immunogenic and protective properties, and methods of use including administering to an animal the antigenic KSAC protein thereof to protect animals. The invention also encompasses methods for making and producing the soluble, disaggregated, refolded or active proteins from inclusion bodies produced from prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides an attenuated palmiped parvovirus that affords heterologous protection for both Muscovy duck parvovirus and goose parvovirus (i.e., Derzsy's Disease). The disclosure further provides compositions comprising the same, and methods of production and use thereof.
Abstract:
This invention relates to topical compositions for combating ectoparasites and endoparasites in animals, comprising at least one isoxazoline active agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, optionally in combination with one or more additional active agents. This invention also provides for an improved methods for eradicating, controlling, and preventing parasite infections and infestations in an animal comprising administering the compositions of the invention to the animal in need thereof.
Abstract:
This invention relates to extended release injectable formulations for combating parasites in animals, comprising at least one isoxazoline active agent, a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer, and a solvent. This invention also provides for improved methods for eradicating, controlling, and preventing parasite infections and infestations in an animal comprising administering the extended release injectable formulations of the invention to the animal in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to naphthyl- or isoquinolinyl-substituted isothiazoline compounds of formula I wherein the variables are as defined in the claims and description. The compounds are useful for combating or controlling invertebrate pests, in particular arthropod pests and nematodes. The invention also relates to a method for controlling invertebrate pests by using these compounds and to plant propagation material and to an agricultural and a veterinary composition comprising said compounds.
