title: Risk assessment related to veterinary biologicals: side-effects in target animals.
abstract: Despite established control measures, the large-scale use of veterinary biologicals may involve side-effects. The most common side-effects observed include the following: injection site reactions, systemic reactions, allergic reactions, effects on the immune system, residual pathogenicity, inadequate inactivation, genetic recombination, contamination. New technologies, new harmonised regulations, and commitment to quality will ensure a continuous supply of safe and innovative products.
