Current approach to vaccine applications in veterinary protozoology

Abstract

Protozoan infections in animals are liable for significant production losses, and lots of protozoan parasites are of zoonotic importance. The use of anti-protozoal drugs is the most common way to treat protozoan diseases. Nevertheless, anti-protozoan drug resistance and the prevalence of drug residues in food-producing animals in different parts of the world have emerged as one of the key problems for protozoan control programs. Vaccinating animals to control certain infections is the most reliable and cost-efficient way to control protozoan infections. Although the initial cost of vaccination is high long-term immunity from animal vaccination provides a cheaper and more reliable solution to infection control. With this review, the current status of vaccine applications in veterinary protozoology has been reviewed.

Veteriner protozoolojide aşı uygulamalarına güncel yaklaşım

Öz

Hayvanlarda görülen protozoer enfeksiyonlar, önemli üretim kayıplarına neden olur ve birçok protozoan parazit türü, zoonotik öneme sahiptir. Protozoer hastalıklarla mücadele etmenin en yaygın yolu, antiprotozoal ilaçların kullanılmasına dayanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, gıda için yetiştirilen hayvanlarda antiprotozoan ilaç direnci ve ilaç kalıntılarının varlığı dünyanın çeşitli yerlerinde protozoan kontrol programları için ana sorunlardan biri olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Protozoer enfeksiyonları kontrol etmenin en verimli ve uygun maliyetli yolu, bu tür enfeksiyonları önlemek için hayvanları aşılamaktır. Aşılamanın başlangıç maliyeti yüksek olmasına rağmen, hayvanların aşılanmasından kaynaklanan uzun süreli bağışıklık, bu tür enfeksiyonları kontrol altına almak için daha ucuz ve etkili bir alternatif sunmaktadır. Bu derlemede veteriner protozoolojide aşı uygulamalarının mevcut durumu gözden geçirilmiştir.
