Abstract

The control of important poultry diseases in Asia is described, with the emphasis on vaccines, vaccination programmes and procedures. In most Asian countries there is routine vaccination for Newcastle disease, Marek's disease, infectious bronchitis, infectious avian encephalomyelitis, fowl pox and fowl cholera. However, depending on local conditions, programmes and procedures may differ from one country to another, or even from one farm to another within the same country. While some of the vaccines used are manufactured within the countries of the region, a large number are imported. India is the only Asian country that is self-sufficient in vaccine production.
