A recombinant fowlpox virus was produced which expressed the fusion protein (F) of turkey rhinotracheitis virus (TRTV), a pneumovirus. Turkey poults were vaccinated twice, at an interval of 2 weeks, intramuscularly and by wing web on each occasion, with the recombinant or a control fowlpox virus. Two weeks after the second vaccination the poults were challenged superconjunctivally and intranasally with virulent TRTV. A partially protective immune response was achieved; turkeys vaccinated with the F recombinant showed milder clinical signs and 1000-fold less challenge virus was recovered from the nose and trachea compared with turkeys that had been vaccinated with control fowlpox virus. Expression of the F protein induced antibodies which were detectable both by an ELISA and a virus neutralization test. These results show that the immune responses to the F protein play a major role in protection against TRTV and indicate that recombinant viruses expressing the TRTV F protein have potential as vaccines against TRT.
