Ruminants (PPR) Vaccine
Introduction
Indian research & development
organisation offers the technology of Live Attenuated
Peste des Petits (PPR) Vaccine. Product Presentation:-
Vaccine: Freeze dried in a glass vial (50 doses) Diluent:
50 ml in a polypropylene bottle. Product Utility:- PPR
is acute, highly contagious and fatal rinderpest like
disease of small ruminants and in unprotected animals
the mortality may reach 60-70%. PPR virus was first
reported in India in 1987 from an outbreak in Tamil
Nadu and since then the disease was reported from all
over the country. The use of rinderpest vaccine to protect
small ruminants against PPR is contraindicated because
its use induces antibodies to rinderpest, which compromises
sero-surveillance for rinderpest. Hence, the present
vaccine was developed for control of PPR in sheep and
goats. It is used for prophylatic vaccination against
PPR in sheep and goats. Instructions for use: The freeze
dried vaccine should be stored and transported at 2-8
deg C.
The vaccine diluent should be stored
in a cool and dark place. Chilled diluent (4 deg C)
should be used for reconstituting the vaccine. For administering
the dose, a small aliquot of diluent from 50 ml bottle
provided (phosphate buffered saline) is to be transferred
to the vial containing freeze dried vaccine and mixed
well to ensure uniform suspension. Then, the suspension
is to be transferred to the corresponding diluent vial
and mixed well. Only sterile syringes and needles should
be used. Then, 1 ml of the reconstituted vaccine is
injected to one sheep or goat subcutaneously.
