Field Trial of Avian Influenza Vaccine in Layer Chicken

H9N2 is the most common subtype of influenza viruses in chicken and causes great economic loss for the poultry industry. Human infections with avian influenza virus revealed that H9N2 is the gene donor for H7N9 and H10N8 viruses that are infecting humans too.
Avian Influenza vaccine develops strong and long-lasting antibody against Avian Influenza virus type A, subtype H9N2 in chicken, duck and turkey.

A field trial to determine potency and efficacy of this vaccine in layer chicken was carried out by CRO Ltd. The subjects were divided into five groups. Three groups were for potency and efficacy study. One group was vaccinated with investigational vaccine, one group vaccinated with commercially available vaccine and the third group was control. There are two more groups for safety study. One group was vaccinated with investigational product and the other group was control.

Sponsor of this field trial was Incepta Vaccine Ltd. (Human & Animal Division), Bangladesh. The trial was inspected by Directorate General of Drug Administration. It is now commercialized in Bangladesh as GurdFlu vet, which is recommended for broiler, sonali, layer and breeding stock for protection against Low Pathogenic Avian Infuenza (AI) H9N2.
