  • Publication number: 20240033337
    Abstract: Currently, there is no effective vaccination against M. bovis on the market, and treatment options become increasingly limited due to restrictions in the use of, and resistance to antibiotics. This is complicated by results that demonstrate the induction of vaccine-enhanced disease, upon the use of certain M. bovis proteins as a vaccine. Thus, there is an urgent need for an effective and safe M. bovis vaccine. A novel vaccine composition was found that comprises one or more recombinant proteins which (combined) contain one or more epitopes from each of a set of specific M. bovis proteins. Vaccines based on these recombinant proteins were found to be safe, and were effective in protecting ruminants against infection and disease resulting from a severe challenge infection with M. bovis, as was apparent from a strong reduction of lung damage and colonisation of the trachea.

  • Publication number: 20230105140
    Abstract: The invention derives from the discovery that the immunogenicity of piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) can be significantly increased by inactivating the virus in a way different from the prior art: by incubation with an aziridine the vaccine potency against challenge infection by cohabitation is much improved over prior art approaches. This allowed the development of an effective inactivated vaccine against infection and disease caused by PRV.

  • Publication number: 20220387577
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a serine protease antigen which induces antibodies against a protein having at least 69% sequence identity with the Heamophilus parasuis protein according to SEQ ID No: 1, for use in a prophylactic method to protect a pig against an infection with Haemophilus parasuis by administering a vaccine to the pig, wherein the vaccine comprises the serine protease antigen. The invention also pertains to a vaccine, a method to manufacture such a vaccine and a method to protect a pig against H. parasuis.
