Abstract
Vaccinations for pet rabbits using biological preparations registered in Poland provide protection against three clinical entities: myxomatosis, rabbit haemorrhagic disease types 1 and 2 (RHD1 and RHD2). This article presents an analysis of the number of vaccinations performed in rabbits in the years 2011-2020 at the Clinic of Infectious Diseases of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Among the total number of 3304 rabbits admitted to the clinic, 574 visits were for vaccinations, which indicates that the owners of these animals are interested in specific prevention of myxomatosis and RHD. Detailed analysis of the clinic’s records makes it possible to identify certain tendencies, e.g. those associated with the choice of biological preparations or the percentage of immunized animals in different years. Vaccination of rabbits is not difficult for the veterinarian from a technical point of view, it provides excellent protection against lethal infectious diseases, and it can be a source of income for veterinary clinics. For this reason it is worth disseminating knowledge on the vaccination programme for rabbits kept as companion animals among owners of these animals.
期刊介绍:
"Medycyna Weterynaryjna" publishes various types of articles which are grouped in the following editorial categories: reviews, original studies, scientific and professional problems, the history of veterinary medicine, posthumous memoirs, as well as chronicles that briefly relate scientific advances and developments in the veterinary profession and medicine. The most important are the first two categories, which are published with short summaries in English. Moreover, from 2001 the editors of "Medycyna Weterynaryjna", bearing in mind market demands, has also started publishing entire works in English. Since 2008 the periodical has appeared in an electronic version. The following are available in this version: summaries of studies published from 1999 to 2005, full versions of all the studies published in the years 2006-2011 (in pdf files), and full versions of the English studies published in the current year (pdf). Only summaries of the remaining studies from the current year are available. In accordance with the principles accepted by the editors, the full versions of these texts will not be made available until next year.
All articles are evaluated twice by leading Polish scientists and professionals before they are considered for publication. For years now "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" has maintained a high standard thanks to this system. The review articles are actually succinct monographs dealing with specific scientific and professional problems that are based on the most recent findings. Original works have a particular value, since they present research carried out in Polish and international scientific centers.
