I am looking for any data or anecdotal information on the use of any
vaccine (horse or chimeric) in birds, especially raptors (this case
was a Snowy Owl), and any reports of efficacy, or WNV positive status
post vaccination. I am investigating a positive previously vaccinated
Snowy Owl that presented for necropsy found dead with no brain lesions,
but did have WNV positive heart lesions on west nile IHC. Any
information on vaccine protocols, their effectiveness, or lack thereof
would be appreciated.
