Trials for preparation and evaluation of different vaccines against enteropathogenic escherochia coli in rabbits

Abstract: The aim of this thesis was to study the incidence and mortality rates in diarrhoeic rabbits suffering from E. coli infection. correlation between biotyping and serotyping of E. coli isolates revealed the following: O8/1-; O20/1+; O26/2+; O15/3-; O153/5+ and O12/8+ virulence attribute confirrned that these strains were belonging to enteropathognic E. coli. The comparative protective capacity of the ultrasonicated, irradiated, heat inactivated, forinalinized inactivated as attenuated –irradiated vaccines was elucidated using challenge test, local , IgA antibody response as well as immunohistopathological response. Results indicated that the ultrasonicated vaccine was the best vaccine for protective against E. coli infection in rabbits.
