ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a vaccine which is protective against avian polyomavirus infection in a bird which is classified as being a member of the Psittaciformes order which comprises an immunogenic amount of an inactivated avian polyomavirus in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also provided is an adjuvant suitable for use in a bird which is classified as being a member of the Psittaciformes order. Further provided is a composition which produces an anamnestic response against avian polyomavirus infection in a sensitized bird which is classified as being a member of the Psittaciformes order, which comprises an anamnestic response inducing amount of a recombinant protein (e.g., VP1 capsid protein) of avian polyomavirus in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods are also provided for preventing avian polyomavirus infection in a bird, or in several different species of birds, classified as being a member of the Psittaciformes order, comprising administering a vaccine comprising an immunogenic amount of an inactivated avian polyomavirus and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
