the problem with the Mareks vaccine is that we cannot get the good one!Great, just what we need.
The ocular Marek's disease actually presents itself like ocular herpes does in humans causing an iridocyclitis-which is an inflammation of the iris and the ciliary bodies in the eye.
We found that out when my husband scoped Sassy's eyes and we found out it was herpes and she was almost blind.
So what I've wondered, given the conversation concerning the avian vaccine for MD, which is a herpes virus vaccine in essence, is this. If the vaccine has the potential to cause a more virulent strain of the herpes virus to emerge, what about the vaccine for genital herpes that is given to young people in their teens to prevent cervical cancer?
Are we seeing a potential for a more virulent strain of an SID to emerge in the future that will cause an even more virulent, deadly form of reproductive system herpes to emerge?
That's as profound as I'm getting today!
Morning old folk! Wakey Wakey eggs and bakey!
It seems more like the original small pox vaccine given out by George Washington to the troops during the revolutionary war. It was not as good as the ones given out later.
Commercial customers get the good mareks vaccine that does more than prevent cancer later. With the one we get, the chicks can still get mareks.
