Nobilis Salenvac and Nobilis Salenvac T - the UK experience

Nobilis Salenvac was the first vaccine to be used in the UK and has contributed to a significant drop of Salmonella cases in the UK from then onwards. The introduction of Nobilis Salenvac T has contributed to a further drop in the Salmonella Typhimurium cases in the UK as shown in the graph below.

In May 2001 the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food reported:

“We believe we are seeing a real success story here. There has been a sustained fall in the levels of Salmonella in eggs. There are reasons for believing that the improvements flow from the widespread vaccination of egg laying flocks against Salmonella Enteritidis, combined with improved flock hygiene measures.”
