Abstract
ABSTRACT:Serology is used to quantify antibody titres that can be used to indicate the current immune status of an individual and could, therefore, be used to formulate tailored vaccination programmes for individual dogs. Although extended re-vaccination intervals are beneficial in reducing the concept of vaccine overload, not all individuals may be able to mount an immune response lasting for three years and some animals may be able to maintain immunity to core diseases for longer than three years. The two key tests in pre-vaccination serology are virus neutralisation testing and haemagglutination testing, although ELISA based in-house testing has now been developed.
