Safety and immunogenicity of poultry vaccine for protecting critically endangered avian species against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, United States
April 15, 2025
In 2023, an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza occurred among critically endangered California condors (Gymnogyps californianus), and >21 died. We evaluated safety, immunogenicity, vaccination strategies, and correlates of antibody response of an influenza vaccine for poultry in black vultures (Coragyps atratus) and then California condors. We noted differences in antibody titers between vaccinated and unvaccinated birds (vultures p

In 2023, critically endangered California condors experienced an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). We evaluated safety, immunogenicity, vaccination strategies, and correlates of antibody response of a conditionally licensed influenza vaccine for poultry in black vultures and then California condors. These data represent the correlates of antibody response, including
