Abstract: This invention provides a recombinant raccoon poxvirus that expresses the nucleocapsid and transmembrane proteins of Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus. The recombinant viruses are useful as vaccines, either alone or in combination with carriers and adjuvants.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved BRSV vaccine composition, which advantageously provides immunity from infection after a single administration. The composition comprises a modified live BRS virus and an adjuvant, which in combination provide immunity from BRSV infection after a single administration, and elicit an immune response specific to BRSV and including cell-mediated immunity and local (secretory IgA) immunity. In a preferred embodiment, the BRS virus is strain 375, and the adjuvant comprises an unsaturated turpin hydrocarbon, preferably squalene or squalane, and a polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer, most preferably one where the copolymer has a polyoxypropylene (POP) component with an average molecular weight of about 3250 to 4000 and the polyoxyethylene (POE) component comprises about 10-20% of the total molecule. The adjuvant may optionally include a surfactant, preferably a polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate.

Abstract: This invention provides a feline vaccine composition comprising an immunogenically active component having inactivated mammalian chlamydial cells or antigens derived therefrom, in combination with an effective amount of an immunogenically suitable adjuvant; and a veterinary pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The vaccine composition is useful to prevent chlamydia, e.g. C. psittaci, infections or diseases in felines, and may also be combined with other vaccine compositions or therapy. A process for producing C. psittaci suitable for use in the production of safe and effective chlamydia vaccines, and a method for preventing chlamydia infections or diseases in felines, are also provided.
