How immunocontraception can contribute to elephant management in small, enclosed reserves: Munyawana population as a case study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Immunocontraception has been widely used as a management tool to reduce population growth in captive as well as wild populations of various fauna. We model the use of an individual-based rotational immunocontraception plan on a wild elephant, Loxodonta ...

Induction of immunocontraceptive effects in both male and female mice immunized with GnRH vaccine [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021 Background Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a pivotal role in regulating the reproductive endocrine system. Objective An immunocontraception vaccine aimed at inhibiting the functions of GnRH is tested as a potential tool for controlling animal

GnRH immunocontraception of male cats [PDF]
Theriogenology, 2004 The development of nonsurgical contraceptives for cats may facilitate population control of the species. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of GnRH for immunocontraception of male cats. Male cats (n=12) were divided into groups of three and were immunized once with 0 (sham), 50, 200, or 400 microg synthetic GnRH coupled to keyhole

Plant-Produced Mouse-Specific Zona Pellucida 3 Peptide Induces Immune Responses in Mice
Vaccines, 2023 Contraceptive vaccines are designed to stimulate autoimmune responses to molecules involved in the reproductive process. A mouse-specific peptide from zona pellucida 3 (mZP3) has been proposed as a target epitope.

Immunocontraception of African elephants [PDF]
Nature, 2000 A humane method to control elephant populations without behavioural side effects. Concerted efforts to nurture elephant populations have resulted in elephant overpopulation in several areas, which in turn has led to damaging levels of browsing. As an alternative to culling entire family groups in order to control this damage, we have developed an ...

Symposium: Immunocontraception. Development of immunocontraceptives: an introduction [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1997 The global eradication of smallpox through vaccinations led people to believe that a contraceptive vaccine could be developed and used to help solve the problem and pressures of excessive population growth. A pioneer in the field the government of India through its Department of Biotechnology and the Indian Council of Medical Research mounted a major ...
