Effect of maternal antibodies on the immune response to different canine parvovirus vaccines and antibody response to selected vaccines

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is the main cause of gastroenteritis and mortalities in young dogs worldwide. Despite vaccination, the outbreaks of canine parvovirus infection occur in many countries including Sri Lanka. Interference caused by maternally derived antibodies (MDA) is a main reason for vaccination failure. Present study assessed the level of CPV specific MDA in puppies prior to vaccination, the effect of MDA on the efficacy of different preparations of CPV vaccines and, evaluated the immunogenicity of selected CPV vaccines available commercially. Analysis of MDA in puppies born to vaccinated or unvaccinated mothers using commercially available point of care ELISA based test revealed the presence of protective levels of MDA titres at 8 weeks of age which can affect the immunogenicity of the vaccines containing inactivated virus or low viral titre (1000 HAU). 3-5The vaccines containing CCID 50 of ≥10 were able to induce antibody titres higher than protective level. Analysis of CPV-2 specific antibody titres, two weeks after completing the primary CPV vaccination (16-18 weeks of age) revealed that the dogs who received the 5 vaccines containing CPV-2 or CPV-2b strain with >10 CCID 50 induced significantly high levels of mean antibody titre (vaccine "B"-p value = 0.004; vaccine "D" -p value = 0.022; vaccine "F"-p value = 0.032) when compared to the vaccine containing 1000 HAU. In conclusion, it was evident that the interference of MDA on CPV vaccines could be circumvented by using a live attenuated CPV vaccine having a high viral dose of CPV. Low viral dose vaccines and inactivated vaccines are not suitable for primary vaccination as those could be interfered by maternal immunity

The aim of this study was to assess the application of gridded precipitation datasets for applications in Sri Lanka and to identify suitable products that can be used for hydrological applications in data sparse regions. Here, nine global datasets were considered for this study, and after initial screening, four datasets, such as Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) early run calibrated, Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS), European Center for Medium range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF)-ReAnalysis (ERA5) and Indian Monsoon Data Assimilation and Reanalysis (IMDAA), were selected for detailed comparison. These data products were analysed at monthly, seasonal and annual time scale for whole Sri Lanka and also for three distinguished climate zones (wet, intermediate and dry) for the period 2001-2015. The datasets were further evaluated based on their ability to capture the extreme events, based on recent designated dry year and wet year. All four datasets represent the annual and monthly climatology of Sri Lanka well; however, discrepancies are seen at seasonal scale.CHIRPS had the best performance in the wet zone and ERA5 in dry and intermediate zones. Although all datasets distinctly identified the wet year and dry year with respect to the normal average, the interannual variability was explicitly identified by CHIRPS and ERA5. Therefore, for replicating the national and zonal climatology, both ERA5 (dry and intermediate zones) and CHIRPS (wet zone) are suitable. With the perspective of hydrological applications, both datasets can be used in development of hydrological models for applications such as flood forecasting, reservoir management and climate change impact assessment as an alternative to observed rainfall data in data scarce regions.

“…For example, guidelines have been authored for Israeli veterinarians that deal with vaccination of both dogs (Harrus, 2020) and cats (Baneth, 2020) in that country. Guidelines for the vaccination of dogs are available for Sri Lankan veterinary practitioners (Silva, 2016). The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) have produced feline vaccination guidelines particularly relevant to North America (Stone et al., 2020).…”
