Specific humoral response in silver foxes after immunisation with vaccines against carnivorous-animal parvoviruses

The research objective was to apply the haemagglutination-inhibition test to determine the antibody level in silver fox serum. The animals were immunised with inactivated vaccines against mink viral enteritis, as well as attenuated vaccines against parvovirosis of dogs. The tests involved 35 females aged 6-7 months. It was shown that none of the vaccines have a negative influence on fox reproduction, and all the vaccines are immunogenic and may be used in the prevention of parvoviral infections in farm foxes.
