This webinar will review the latest updates on the canine respiratory defense system and use Bordetella bronchiseptica as an example of how classical and emerging pathogens evade these defenses and cause disease. This review will form the basis for understanding rational strategies for diagnosis, therapy, and disease prevention, including the important role of vaccination. This session will also summarize the mechanistic rationale underlying the various vaccine options (injectable, intranasal, and oral) for Bordetella bronchiseptica. Finally, how to leverage these advantages to support general clinic vaccine protocols and individualized, situational vaccine strategies will be explored.
What You'll Learn
- The basic morphology and immunology of the canine upper and lower airways
- The mechanisms and virulence factors by which Bordetalla bronchiseptica can bypass mechanical and innate immunity and cause disease in susceptible dogs
- Host and environmental factors that enhance pathogen survival and favor pathogen transmission and infection
- Recommendations for diagnosis of uncomplicated and complicated cases of canine infectious respiratory disease complex
- The mechanisms by which vaccination strategies stimulate and enhance mucosal and systemic immune responses
