Abstract
The present application applies to the field of veterinary vaccines, in particular of vaccines for poultry against avian influenza. The vaccine is based on a recombinant viral vector expressing the haemagglutinin protein of an influenza virus, wherein the vector is herpes virus of turkeys (HVT) and the haemagglutinin gene is driven by a glycoprotein B gene promoter from a mammalian herpesvirus. A vaccine comprising this HVT+HA vector can be used to induce a protective immune response against avian influenza in poultry, and to reduce the spread of AIV. The invention also relates to methods, uses, and vaccines involving the HVT+HA vector.
