WORTHINGTON, R. W., MULDERS, MARIA S. G., McFARLANE I. S. and BECKER DAPHNE. Serological titres following vaccination of sheep and goats with B. :nelitensis Rev 1 vaccine: Onderstepoort f. vet. Res. 40(1), 1-6 (1973) Rev 1 vaccination of sheep induced complement fixation titres to both Brucella abortus and Brucella ovis antigens, the complement fixing antibody titres were, however, higher with the B. abortus antigen. These tltres generally fell to negative levels (below 1/20) within 5 to· 6 months of vaccination. In goats Rev 1 vac~ination induced complement fixation titres against B. abortus antigen which fell to negative levels w1thtn 5 to 6 months. Agglutination at 37°C or 56°C, agglutination in 5% NaCl, and Coombs tests are .less useful in vaccinated animals as titres remain at positive levels for much longer periods after vaccination.

Improved influenza viral vector based Brucella abortus vaccine induces robust B and T-cell responses and protection against Brucella melitensis infection in pregnant sheep and goats

We previously developed a potent candidate vaccine against bovine brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus using the influenza viral vector expressing Brucella Omp16 and L7/L12 proteins (Flu-BA). Our success in the Flu-BA vaccine trial in cattle and results of a pilot study in non-pregnant small ruminants prompted us in the current study to test its efficacy against B. melitensis infection in pre...

Comparison between subcutaneous and conjunctival route of vaccination with Rev. 1 strain against Brucella melitensis infection in ewes.

In areas where the prevalence of Brucella melitensis infection in sheep is high, control of the disease cannot be led without the help of vaccination. The use of Brucella melitensis strain Rev. 1 vaccine affords a very good protection. The drawback is that this vaccine, giving rise to long-lasting antibody titers, may disturb serological screening when a return is made to a test and slaughter p...

Genotoxicity of Dioxin and its Effect on the Immune Response of Goats Vaccinated with Brucella Melitensis Vaccine

The few cytogenetic studies performed in both humans and animals exposed in vivo or in vitro to dioxin reported conflicting data with or without chromosome damage. Therefore the aim of this work was to fulfill the genotoxicity of dioxin and its effect on immune response of sheep vaccinated with Brucella melitensis Rev.1 vaccine. A total number of twenty female goats were divided into four group...

Comparison of the efficacy of Brucella abortus strain RB51 and Brucella melitensis Rev. 1 live vaccines against experimental infection with Brucella melitensis in pregnant ewes.

To test the efficacy of rough Brucella strain vaccines in sheep, a vaccine recently developed in cattle (Brucella abortus strain RB51) was assessed in comparison with the conventional Rev. 1 vaccine. Forty-five ewes from twelve to fourteen months of age, from brucellosis-free flocks, were allotted to three groups of fifteen ewes each. Group one was vaccinated by the conjunctival route with 1.73...

Three groups of Shami goats were randomly vaccinated with Brucevac (Rev. 1) vaccine. Group 1 was vaccinated subcutaneously with a full dose (1.54 x 10 organisms). Group 2 was vaccinated conjunctively with one eye drop (5.2 x 10 organisms), while Group 3 was injected subcutaneously with a reduced dose (7.1 x 10 organisms) of vaccine. Blood samples were collected before vaccination, two, four, ei...
