4.1.1. C-strain豬瘟活毒疫苗的效力
Although not many standard vaccination-challenge experiments have been published the efficacy of the C-strain vaccine in preventing clinical CSF seems to approach 100%. Most data from laboratory studies indicate a very high level of protection against the development of clinical signs after challenge, irrespective of the challenge strains used (Aynaud, 1988 and [Vandeputte et al., 2001] ). Piglets can be successfully vaccinated from 1 day of age (Szent-Ivanyi, 1977 and [Vandeputte et al., 2001] ).Already 2–4 days after vaccination, some protection against challenge with a virulent field virus has been reported ( [Kaden and Glaner, 1982] and Lai et al., 1982), and 7 days after a single vaccination it appeared to be complete (Lai et al., 1982, [Biront et al., 1987] , [Terpstra et al., 1990] , [Dahle and Liess, 1995] and [De Smit et al., 2001b] ). Pigs challenged intranasally between 1 and 4 weeks after vaccination did not even appear to have a secondary type antibody response after challenge, which may underpin the presence of a ‘sterile’ immunity (Dahle and Liess, 1995). On the other hand, vaccinated pigs that were intranasally challenged after 26 weeks did show a significant rise in neutralising antibody titre after challenge (Terpstra et al., 1990). The vaccinal protection lasted at least 6–18 months (Szent-Ivanyi, 1977, Aynaud, 1988, [Terpstra et al., 1990] , [Ferrari, 1992] and [Kaden and Lange, 2001] ), but it may even be lifelong: Terpstra (unpublished results) observed that sows vaccinated during a field campaign and challenged in the laboratory 6–7 years later, still remained healthy, whereas two unvaccinated control sows died from the CSFV challenge.
Vaccination with the C-strain not only induced virtually complete protection against disease, but also complete ‘virological’ protection or ‘sterile immunity’, in the sense that challenged pigs did not show viraemia nor excreted the challenge virus, even when the challenge was only 1 week after vaccination ( [Ferrari, 1992] , [Dahle and Liess, 1995] , [De Smit et al., 2001b] and Dewulf et al., 2002a). In pigs given a sub-optimal dose of live vaccine , CSFV antigen of the challenge virus could be demonstrated in tonsils for weeks after challenge (Leunen and Strobbe, 1977). Whether these pigs could actually transmit the challenge virus was not shown. When the virus titre in the vaccine was enhanced to normal levels, this ‘carrier’ phenomenon no longer occurred (Biront et al., 1987), suggesting that the creation of carriers by infection of vaccinated pigs should not be regarded as a disadvantage if vaccination is carried out correctly.
Maternal antibodies ingested through colostrum protect young piglets against mortality due to CSF; this protection declines as piglets grow older and maternal antibody titres decrease ( [Terpstra, 1977] and [Launais et al., 1978] ). However, challenge of maternally immune pigs does lead to CSF viral replication (Biront et al., 1987). In addition, it is well known that maternally derived antibodies can markedly suppress the protective immune responses induced by vaccination (Szent-Ivanyi, 1977). The higher the maternal antibody titres at vaccination, the stronger the inhibition of the development of vaccinal immunity ( [Lai et al., 1980] , Aynaud, 1988 and [Vandeputte et al., 2001] ). In the latter study, it was found that pigs with maternal antibodies that were born from vaccinated sows and were vaccinated shortly after the ingestion of colostrums succumbed from challenge 10 weeks later, whereas pigs with maternal antibodies that were vaccinated at 7 weeks of age all survived a challenge 3 weeks later; the unvaccinated control pigs all died. When piglets were vaccinated before ingestion of colostrum they were protected against challenge (Lee et al., 1982 and [Vandeputte et al., 2001] ).
With regard to emergency vaccination, it is of utmost importance whether it can rapidly stop the spread of field virus. Although vaccines are primarily developed to confer immunity against disease, another benefit is that the infectious agent will replicate less efficiently in a vaccinated animal and will be transmitted less well to other pigs. In addition, vaccination may render the pig less susceptible to infection, in other words: more virus may be needed to initiate an infection. These processes reduce the spread of a virus in a herd, i.e. generate herd immunity. The ratio of virus transmission in epidemiological terms is expressed as R (reproduction ratio) (De Jong and Kimman, 1994 M.C.M. De Jong and T.G. Kimman, Experimental quantification of vaccine -induced reduction in virus transmission. Vaccine , 12 (1994), pp. 761–766. Article | PDF (610 K) | | View Record in Scopus | | Cited By in Scopus (122)De Jong and Kimman, 1994). When transmission occurs, R is often greater than 1. When transmission does not take place or only at a very low level, at a rate of R lower than 1, then an outbreak will stop. Against this background, various transmission experiments have been performed with E2 subunit vaccines , but hardly any with the C-strain vaccine . Some recent studies indicate that pigs given the C-strain vaccine 7 days before challenge did not transmit challenge virus to vaccinated, in-contact pigs ( [De Smit et al., 2001b] and Dewulf et al., 2002a). Hence, pigs vaccinated with the C-strain appear to be completely protected after 1 week, maybe even earlier (Dewulf, 2002). When pigs were given a C-strain vaccine 1, 2 or 4 days after having been inoculated with a virulent CSFV strain, they died from CSF, indicating that vaccination after infection seems to have no or little influence on the outcome of the infection (Urbaneck et al., 1973). |
