[The control of kennel cough].
Kennel cough is an infectious factorial disease with a multicausal genesis. The conventional methods (hygiene, management, chemotherapy, symptomatic therapy) are often insufficient in control of the disease. New methods were developed in collaboration with "problem kennels" (animal homes, dealer kennels etc.), which reduce the morbidity significantly. A so-called "synergistic combined vaccine" ("Candiflu", Behringwerke Marburg), which contains the basic viruses (reovirus, human influenza-A-virus, parainfluenza-2-virus), is recommended for prophylaxis. In problem kennels with a permanent changing of dogs the vaccination has to be supported by paramunization. Therapeutical success depends on the combination of conventional methods and the stimulation of the paraspecific immune system (paramunization). This new concept has been very successful in West Germany during the last years.
