About this listen
Dive into the critical topic of Rift Valley Fever (Slenkdalkoors), a severe viral disease affecting hooved animals and posing a serious health risk to humans. This podcast explores the only effective control method: sustainable immunization, particularly crucial during wet periods when mosquitoes are disease carriers.
Learn about the two primary types of vaccines available: the live Smithburn vaccine, developed by Onderstepoort Biologiese Produkte (OBP), which provides lifelong immunity after a single dose, typically effective three to four weeks post-vaccination.
We'll also cover the inactivated (killed) vaccine, specifically developed for pregnant animals, which requires annual vaccinations as it provides good, but not as strong, immunity compared to the live vaccine. Discover key vaccination guidelines, including appropriate ages for animals, optimal timing before the rainy season, and necessary precautions during outbreaks.
