The Federal Center for Animal Health Protection has developed and registered two unique drugs against the low-pathogenic avian influenza virus of the H9 subtype.

One vaccine is a homogeneous white emulsion containing an inactivated avian influenza virus of the H9 subtype. The vaccine causes the formation of immunity 28 days after a single application lasting at least 9 months.

The second vaccine forms immunity from two economically significant diseases at once – against avian influenza (H9N2) and Newcastle disease. This vaccine also develops immunity after 28 days and lasts at least 9 months.

Over the past decade, the H9N2 low-pathogenic avian influenza virus has spread widely in the world, especially in the Far and Middle East. The virus causes serious economic damage. Many countries carry out preventive immunization.
