Presentation Synopsis:

Autogenous vaccines are farm-specific vaccines formulated with antigens derived from pathogens isolated from disease outbreaks on the farm. They can be used when fully licensed vaccines have proven to be ineffective or are unavailable. They should be used under the supervision of the responsible veterinary surgeon. In this talk, an overview of their use in farmed fish with emphasis on aspects relating to production and quality will be presented.

Presentation Learning Objectives:

  1. Review basic vaccinology concepts
  2. Understand the concept of autogenous vaccines
  3. Requirements and benefits of using autogenous vaccines in fish
