Abstract :

[en] Until recently, there were few examples of biological control of wild animal infections. The most significant development in this field is the use of a vaccinia--rabies recombinant virus or other recombinants for the control of rabies by oral vaccination of vectors, both in Europe and in North America.

Vet Microbiol , Of outstanding interest, SAG1, a rabies virus strain bearing one mutation which abolishes virulence for adult animals, was constructed from the SAD Bern strain of rabies virus which was used previously as a live vaccine for the oral immunization of foxes. SAG1 also bears an antigenic mutation which serves as an additional marker of the strain. Studies on mice and four species of wild rodents showed that SAG1 is totally avirulent, whereas SAD Bern is still pathogenic. Trials of oral vaccination performed on foxes with SAG1 indicate that it is as effective as SAD Bern.; 23:259-266.

Vet Microbiol , Of outstanding interest, A vaccinia-rabies recombinant virus was constructed and shown to induce protection in susceptible animals. Active when orally administered, this recombinant is a good candidate in the development of vaccines for wild animal vectors. This recombinant was found to be stable, safe for use in both target and non-target animal species, and protective towards most of the rabies vectors. Preliminary results of field studies confirmed its basic properties and potential for rabies eradication.; 23:227-236.

Vet Rec , Of interest, The efficacy of a vaccinia-rabies recombinant virus (108 TCID50) contained in a machine-made baiting system was tested in 22 captive young foxes. Each of the baited foxes ingested at least one bait. Thirty days after baiting, seroconversion to rabies was observed in 83% of the foxes and seroconversion to vaccinia in 78%, and 89% of the baited foxes resisted a rabies challenge. The results demonstrate that the baitsachet system permits an efficient release of the virus suspension into the mouth.; 127:165-167.
