Immuncontraception Reversibility Test of Goat Zona Pellucida-3 (gZP3) on Mice (Mus musculus)
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2006 The aim of this study was to prove the reversibility of gZP3 protein on mice as an animal model. Treatment group of mice (Mus musculus) were immunized with 40 g goat zona pellucida-3 (gZP3) as an anti fertility agent. Control group of mice were injected

Immunocontraception of the female African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) in South Africa : from pipe dream to policy [PDF]
Globally, African savanna elephants have been assessed as ‘endangered’. Consequently, additional threats and losses due to human–elephant conflict (HEC) could further exacerbate the species’ decline. In stark contrast, South Africa’s elephant populations

Viral vectored immunocontraception: Screening of multiple fertility antigens using murine cytomegalovirus as a vaccine vector [PDF]
, 2007 Mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) has previously been used as a vaccine vector for viral vectored immunocontraception (VVIC). MCMV expressing murine zona pellucida 3 (mZP3) induces long term infertility in up to 100% of female BALB/c mice following a single ...

Developments with immunocontraceptives for elephants
Pachyderm, 1996 Only the summary of the presentation and the following discussion are published. Outlines the ongoing study to prove the effectiveness of a immunocontraceptive vaccine for elephant and to run a five year trial of using Kruger Park cows, which can be radio collared and monitored, before implementing it on a wider scale.

Are non-sexual models appropriate for predicting the impact of virus-vectored immunocontraception? [PDF]
, 2008 In response to the need to efficiently control mammal pest populations while avoiding unnecessary suffering, applied and theoretical ecologists have recently focused on virus-vectored immunocontraception (VVIC).

The transmission rate of MCMV in house mice in pens: implications for virally vectored immunocontraception [PDF]
, 2009 Pest mammals have severe economic, environmental and social impacts throughout the world. Fertility control could reduce these impacts. Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is being considered as an immunocontraceptive vector to control outbreaks of house mice (
