Vaccination programs against infectious laryngotracheitis - examples from practice
No full textVaccination represents one of the most effective methods for preventing disease outbreaks in modern poultry production. Intensive poultry farming is continuously challenged by various respiratory diseases, among which infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) poses one of the greatest risks. This is evidenced by the significant economic losses associated with ILT outbreaks. Based on practical experience and data from the literature, different vaccination strategies are presented, ranging from the use of live attenuated vaccines (CEO-chicken embryos and TCO-tissue culture) to the implementation of modern recombinant vector vaccines based on turkey herpesvirus (rHVT-LT). Vaccination using a recombinant vaccine in the hatchery and a live vaccine during the rearing period has proven to be an effective approach in controlling the spread of the ILT virus in high-risk areas. In addition to these combined programs, there are protocols involving the administration of two doses of live vaccine, most used on farms where ILT virus is already present. When applying such programs, attention must be paid to the risk of latent infection (reactivation of the vaccine virus) triggered by stress factors. The best results are achieved when vaccination is coordinated with strict biosecurity measures. Experiences from recent ILT outbreaks in the region indicate that lack of vaccination or improper implementation of vaccination protocols is the main risk factor in the emergence and spread of the disease. Therefore, mandatory vaccination is recommended in areas with a high risk of ILT occurrence

Non-zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in Western Balkan
No full textxodid ticks are present throughout the Western Balkan countries, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,
Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, with many species serving as vectors for pathogens of both veterinary
and medical importance. We have conducted a thorough examination of existing literature, encompassing historical
documents, to collect information on all documented non-zoonotic tick-borne pathogens found in ticks, pets, farm
animals and wild animals across the Western Balkan region. A comprehensive review was necessary due to the scarcity and scattered nature of available data from this area. The tick fauna in the Western Balkans consists of 32 species
across fve genera: Ixodes, Haemaphysalis, Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus and Hyalomma. Various pathogens responsible for diseases in animals, including bacteria and parasites, have also been documented, many of which can cause
important diseases and signifcant reductions in animal productivity. Initial eforts were directed towards pathogen
surveillance and the characterisation of non-zoonotic tick-borne pathogens, resulting in the identifcation of Theileria orientalis, Anaplasma bovis and Anaplasma marginale in cattle, although signifcant gaps remain in the current
research. Studies on small ruminants have been sparse, with confrmed cases of Anaplasma ovis and Babesia ovis
in sheep, but no comprehensive and systematic research on pathogens in goats. In contrast, research on canine
piroplasms has identifed several species, including Babesia canis and Babesia vulpes. Studies on wild animals, however,
have predominantly focused on wild canines and carnivores, with limited attention given to non-zoonotic pathogens.
Notably, only one study has reported non-zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in artiodactyl species and wild felids. This
review is a much needed overview of existing research on non-zoonotic tick-borne diseases in the Western Balkans,
including the historical context, current data and research gaps. Given the signifcant impact of these diseases on animal health and productivity, as well as their potential biodiversity, further comprehensive studies and the establishment of national surveillance systems for tick-borne diseases are essential for a better understanding and mitigation
of their impact.The work of RS and ST was supported by the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation, Republic of Serbia (Contract Nos. 451-03-

haematophagous vectors” founded by Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ).
This study was carried out within the framework of the COST Action CA21170
