Cold urticaria (essentially meaning cold hives) is a disorder in which large red welts called hives (urticaria) form on the skin after exposure to a cold stimulus. [1] The hives are usually itchy and often the hands, feet and other parts of the body will become itchy and swollen as well.
Turkeypox virus, like other Avipoxviruses, is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus with a large, linear genome of approximately 300 kilobytes in size. [6] The central region of the genome contains at least 90–100 homologous genes that are involved in viral replication, and these genes are generally relatively conserved among Poxviruses. [6]
Allergies are caused by an oversensitive immune system, leading to a misdirected immune response. The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses. Allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to substances that are generally harmless and in most people do not cause an immune response.
Allergen immunotherapy, also known as desensitization or hypo-sensitization, is a medical treatment for environmental allergies (such as insect bites) and asthma. [1] [2] Immunotherapy involves exposing people to larger and larger amounts of allergens in an attempt to change the immune system's response.
A live virus vaccine (ATCvet code: QI04AD01 ) is made from scab material and usually given to ewes at the age of two months, but only to lambs when there is an outbreak. [9] The vaccine can cause disease in humans. [10] [11] In sheep and goats, the lesions mostly appear on or near the hairline and elsewhere on the lips and muzzle.
Flu: CDC also recommends that everyone 6 months and older get an annual flu shot, “with rare exception” (i.e., if you’ve had a severe allergic reaction to a flu vaccine in the past, or if ...
Lumpi-ProVacInd is a live attenuated vaccine for cattle, developed by the team of scientists led by Dr. Naveen Kumar, Principal Scientist at National Centre for Veterinary Type Cultures (NCVTC) National Research Centre on Equines, Hisar, in collaboration with Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, both under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research [1] [2] for prevention of Lumpy ...
For pigs, autogenous vaccines can be used for skin infections; [15] while for cows, they can be used for mastitis. [ 1 ] [ 16 ] Before the formulated vaccine is administered to the animal, an immunostimulant containing bacteria will be given once subcutaneously several days early. [ 1 ]
