An Assessment of Immune Response to Canine Distemper Vaccination in Dogs Experimentally Infected with Ancylostoma and Trypanosome Parasites

Abstract: The immunological alteration in vaccinated dogs with single hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum (A. c) and conjunct infection with Trypanosoma congolense (T. c) and Trypanosoma brucei (T. b) was determined. Sixteen dogs grouped into 4 of 4 members each were used. Group 1 was the uninfected control, GPII was infected with A. c, GPIII was infected with A. c /T. c, and GPIV was infected with T. b/A. c. The dogs were first inoculated with canine distemper (CD) vaccine before infection with A. c 4 weeks post vaccination.… Show more

“…The animals that were given booster dose of canine distemper vaccine showed higher antibody titre than those that were not given. This was in accordance with Latha et al, 2006;Eghafona et al (2007) and Nwoha and Anene (2015) who state that secondary vaccinations increase the antibody titre in the animal.…”

“…In this area of study, CDV is endemic and is the cause of clinically important diseases in dogs associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. This correlated well with what was reported in literature (Eghafona., et al 2007;Nwoha and Anene, 2015). Investigation of immune status following vaccination using standard procedures like the hemagglutination inhibition (HI), serum neutralization (SN) and immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) has not been practicable in Nigeria in view of the cost and other limitations associated with these tests (such as trained personnel and time constraint) as has been the case even in some advanced countries of the world .…”
