Rabbit immune response elicted by liposome-encapsulated porcine parvovirus

Porcine parvovirus is one of the major causes of reproductive failure in pigs. The virus is distributed worldwide and only a continuous vaccination policy can avoid large economic losses. The biodegradable, non-toxic and immunostimulating properties of liposomes render them higly valuable as potential vaccine carriers for human and veterinary use. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the rabbit immune response generated by a new vaccine prepared with liposome-encapsulated purified and inactivated porcine parvovirus. The ability of liposomal vaccine to induce a protective immune response against porcine parvovirus was compared with that elicted by commercial oil-vaccine Parvokal.
