Summary
The research studied vaccination methods against Borna disease (BD), a viral infection found in mammals such as horses and sheep, which has shown recent fatal cases in humans. The study tested live and inactivated vaccines in horses and rabbits to investigate their protective efficacy.
Research Methods
- The research employed full genome sequencing and analysis of BD live vaccine viruses, specifically isolates “Dessau” and “Giessen”.
- Vaccination experiments were performed using a proof of concept approach, with a dose titration infection experiment in rabbits using various doses of both cell culture and brain-derived viruses.
- Horses and rabbits were also given inactivated vaccines produced from concentrated cell culture supernatants, following pre-defined vaccination schemes involving three doses of either adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted inactivated virus.
- The live vaccine “Dessau” was also administered to horses to observe the antibody profile developed and compare the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the different vaccination methods.
Research Findings
- The live vaccine viruses “Dessau” and “Giessen” were found to belong to clusters 3 and 4 of BD virus 1 (BoDV-1). While the “Giessen” virus showed characteristics similar to field viruses, the “Dessau” virus exhibited pronounced differences in the M gene and the N-terminal part of the G gene.
- Rabbits given high doses of cell-cultured virus produced neutralizing antibodies and were protected from disease, whereas rabbits given low doses or those infected with brain-derived virus were not protected.
- 70% of horses vaccinated with the “Dessau” live vaccine developed neutralizing antibodies after vaccination, indicating immunity.
- The inactivated vaccines, both adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted, were found to be immunogenic (able to stimulate an immune response) and offer protection against the disease.
Conclusion
The study concluded that some vaccination approaches offer protection against clinical disease caused by bornaviruses. It was suggested that for maximum effectiveness, vaccines should be administered at high doses under schemes involving three initial doses. However, further research is needed to investigate and improve protection against infection and minimize potential side effects.
