Marek's disease vaccine (live recombinant)

Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Prevexxion RN is a veterinary vaccine used in one-day-old chicks to prevent death and disease and to reduce lesions caused by Marek’s disease (MD) virus (including very virulent MD virus).

MD is a herpesvirus infection of chickens which can cause paralysis of the wings and legs and tumours in various organs. Chickens become infected at an early age via inhalation of dander (flakes of skin) containing the virus which can remain infectious for several months after being shed from the body. Birds infected with MD virus can be carriers and shedders of the virus for life.

Prevexxion RN contains cells with a live recombinant strain of MD virus, serotype 1 called RN1250 that has been modified to increase its effectiveness and safety.
