Abstract:
Intradermal (ID) vaccination aims at targeting the large network of skin antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DC) and constitutes a promising approach to improve anti-infectious immunity. Yet, its anti-viral protective efficacy for sub-unit vaccines and the underlying skin innate immune mechanisms remains to be explored for a wider usage in humans. Using a pig model of lethal respiratory infection with pseudorabies virus (PRV), we show that ID vaccination with adjuvant-free PRV glycoproteins triggers cellular and humoral immunity and confers protection from disease induction by nasal viral challenge, as efficiently as an oil- adjuvanted reference vaccine delivered intramuscularly.
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:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for eliciting protective immunity in animals against Leptospira Interrogans (LI) serovar copenhageni. The invention is based, in part, on the unexpected cross-protection against heterologous LI serovar, which resulted when canines were administered an effective amount of RECOMBITEK® 4 Lepto, then subsequently challenged with virulent L. copenhageni (Fiocruz Ll-130).
Abstract:
This invention relates to compositions for combating ectoparasites and endoparasites in animals, comprising at least one 1-arylpyrazole, at least one macrocyclic lactone, at least one insect growth regulator, and at least one anthelmintic compound in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This invention also provides for an improved method 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:
The present invention encompasses NDV vaccines. The vaccine may be a subunit vaccine based on HN of NDV. The NDV HN may be expressed in plants or algae including microalgae. The invention also encompasses recombinant vectors encoding and expressing NDV antigens, epitopes or immunogens which can be used to protect animals against NDV. It encompasses also a vaccination regime compatible with the DIVA strategy, including a prime-boost scheme using viral vector or inactivated vaccines and subunit vaccines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel dihydroazole of formula (I) and salts thereof: Wherein R 1 , A 1 , A 2 , G, X and Y are as defined in the description, compositions thereof, processes for their preparation and their uses to prevent or treat parasitic infections or infestations in animals and as pesticides.
Abstract:
This invention relates to topically active compositions, including pour-on and spray- on formulations, comprising insect growth regulator (IGR) insecticides prepared as aqueous suspension formulations, or as non-aqueous solution formulations, and to the methods of making these formulations, and to methods of using these formulations for the treatment and/or prevention of insect infestation in animals.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses engineered APMV compositions or vaccines. The vaccine or composition may be a recombinant APMV composition or vaccine. The present invention encompasses methods for modifying the genome of APMV to produce recombinant APMV; modified APMV prepared by such methods; DNA and protein sequences; and methods for infecting cells and host animals with such recombinant APMV.
Abstract:
Insecticidal 4-Amino--thieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidine compounds and methods of their use to control pests that damage plants and crops and parasites that harm animals. The present invention relates to new insecticidal 4-Amino--thieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidine compounds and new methods of their use. The new 4-Amino--thieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidine derivatives have formula (I), wherein X, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and A are defined as in the description. The invention relates also to their enantiomer, diastereomer or agriculturally or veterinary acceptable salt thereof. The invention relates also to agricultural and veterinary compositions comprising such compounds. The invention relates further also to different insecticidal methods applying such compounds and compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of maintaining a gram negative bacterium plasmid without the use of antibiotic selection pressure. Further, the invention relates to the drugless plasmids produced including drugless plasmids containing a heterologous gene. The invention also provides formulations and/or compositions comprising the drugless plasmids comprising a heterologous gene, formulations and/or compositions comprising a protein or an immunogen expressed using the drugless plasmids, and methods of administering such formulations and/or compositions to a host. The invention relates to gram negative bacteria containing the drugless plasmids.
