M. Kruger et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDIES INTO 2 BORDETELLA-BRO NCHISEPTICA-LIVE VACCINES -ANIMAL-MODEL, Monatshefte fur Veterinarmedizin, 49(3), 1994, pp. 127-133
Two Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica live vaccines, Rhinicell(TM) and Bo
rvicell-Dessau, were tested for their biological properties, colonizin
g capability on nasal mucosa of guinea pig and rabbit as well as for t
heir protective potentials for mouse, guinea pig and rabbit. The above
B. bronchiseptica strains differed from each other particularly by ph
ase stability in vivo. Borcivell-Dessau proved to be of high marker an
d phase stability in all model investigations. Mouse and guinea pig, f
or their inherent purine limitation, should not be used in tests of pu
rine-auxotrophic bacterial strains. Intranasal Borvicell-Dessau immuni
zation did not protect rabbit from Phase-I strain challenge infection,
since the vaccine strain was present in a stable Phase III.
