  6. How vaccines work: • Passive Immunization • Brief period of protection • Antibody absorption one time only • Active Immunization • Prolonged period of protection • Boosting of protective response by additional exposure

  7. How vaccines work: • Passive or Active Immunization • Antibody • Antibody-Antigen Interaction

  8. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. • Who needs to be vaccinated: • All horses need certain vaccinations • Depends on: • Environment • Region of country • Degree of exposure to other horses • Pregnant or Open

  9. Eastern Encephalitis Western Encephalitis Venezuelan Encephalitis West Nile Encephalitis Influenza Equine Herpes Virus Respiratory Abortion Tetanus Tetanus toxoid Tetanus antitoxin Rabies Streptococcus equi (strangles) Potomac Horse Fever (Neoricketsiaristici) Clostridium botulinum Equine Viral Arteritis Who, What, Where, When, Why…..

  11. Who, What, Where, When, Why…..

  12. Intranasal Who, What, Where, When, Why…..

  13. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Rabies • Fatality Rate = 100% • If infected, significant threat to people • Transmission • Preventable disease

  14. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Rabies • Initial at 5-6 months • Booster in 4 weeks • Booster at one year • Annual • Good Protection • Does not rule out disease

  15. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Tetanus • Fatality Rate = moderate • Non zoonotic • Transmission • Preventable

  16. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Tetanus • TOXOID • Initial Series • 5 months and 6 months • Booster at one year • Annual • Booster if interval is > 6 months with SX and lacerations • ANTITOXIN • Associated with hepatic necrosis (theiler’s dz) • Useful in non-vaccinated animals and foals born to non vaccinated mare

  17. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. West Nile Virus • Fatality Rate = modest • Non zoonotic • Transmission • Preventable • June - September

  18. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. West Nile Virus • Transmission

  19. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. West Nile Virus • Flavivirus (WNV) • Initial series > 6 months • Depends on time of year • Maternal antibodies inactivate vaccine • Bi-annual vaccine? • Depends on region • Decent protection, but does not rule out disease

  20. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Western/Eastern Encephalitis • Fatality Rate = high • Non zoonotic • Transmission • Preventable • June – September

  21. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Western/Eastern Encephalitis • Togavirus (WEE/EEE) • Initial series > 6 months • Depends on time of year • Maternal antibodies inactivate vaccine • Bi-annual vaccine • Depends on region • Decent protection, but does not rule out disease

  22. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Streptococcus equi “Strangles” • Fatality Rate = low • Non zoonotic • Highly contagious to other horses • Transmission • Preventable • Sometimes?

  23. Two types of vaccine IM (whole cell or M-protein) IN (provides little systemic immunity) Initial series is 2 doses at 4-6 week intervals Foals mount poor response to vaccine Vaccinate 2-4 weeks prior to exposure Semi-annual Booster Purpura hemorrhagica is a adverse reaction to vaccination Abscesses and muscle soreness are other risks Caution when using IN and IM vaccines IN/IM vaccine can slow a outbreak in a barn Do not vaccinate horses showing symptoms Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Streptococcus equi “Strangles”

  24. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Equine Influenza • Fatality rate = low • Contagious to other horses • Transmission • Prevention

  25. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Equine Influenza • Influenza • Vaccinate against type H7N7 (A/equine 1) and H3N8 (A/equine 2) although H3N8 is predominate • Variants between Europe and Americas • Initial series > 6 months • Or booster at 6 months if started at 3 months • Booster can be 2 or 3 shots • Short-term protection • Frequency of vaccine dependent on life style

  26. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Equine Herpes Virus • Fatality rate = low • Contagious to other horses • Transmission • Prevention

  27. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Equine Herpes Virus • Vaccinate against types 1 and 4 • Initial series 5 months • Booster at 6 months • Maternal Interference • Short-term protection • Frequency of vaccine dependent on life style

  28. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Botulism • Fatality rate = moderate-high • Not directly contagious to other horses • Transmission • Prevention

  29. Who, What, Where, When, Why….. Potomac Horse Fever • Fatality Rate = moderate • Non zoonotic • Transmission • Preventable • Challenge infection: • Clinical signs, except fever, prevented in 78% of horses, 4 weeks after vaccination. • 66% challenged after 9 months became ill.
