Effect of coccidiosis and its treatment on the immune response of rabbits to inactivated rabbit haemorrhagic virus vaccine
Abstract: The present work is a trial to answer an important question about rabbit vaccination against rabbit haemorrhagic diseases virus when such rabbits are infested with or treated received at treatment against rabbit coccidiosis which caused by Eimeria stiedae. The experimental results showed that rabbits infested with Eimeria stiedae and did not receive any treatment had the lowest antibody titers to rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus as estimated by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) and serum neutralization (SNT) test which lead to the lowest protection percent (10%) followed by that of unvaccinated challenged rabbits (0). On the other hand infested rabbits which treated with 33.3% sulphaquinxaline showed bitter immune response than the untreated animals with higher protection percent (70%) while healthy rabbits were the superior one showing the highest antibody titers (10 log2 by HI and 128 by SNT) with the highest protection percent (100%). These findings reflect the importance of rabbit treatment against coccidiosis to obtain better immune response to RHD vaccine and high levels of protection.
