Abstract

Background

Mannheimia haemolytica is one of the main agents of domestic pneumonic mannheimiosis, but a proper vaccine has not been explored in IRAN.

Methods and Results

362 lung and nasal samples from sick domestic animal were detected by culture and PCR methods. Totally, 71 M. haemolytica isolates were identified in three main serotypes (A1, A2, and A6). Serotypes A2 (38/71; 54%) and A1 (25/71; 39%) were the most frequently detected, whereas the A6 serotype was detected with a frequency of less than 1% (1/71; 1%) and 7 isolates remained unknown (7/71; 10%). Subsequently, M. haemolytica vaccinal strain was developed and then formalin-killed vaccine was prepared. It provided the best protection against mannheimiosis in sheep which was proved by indirect ELISA.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that the efficacy and safety of vaccine strain are remarkable and may serve as a new therapeutic target in mannheimiosis.
