Use of immunocontraception in the regulation of male goat sexual activity.
Polish journal of veterinary sciencesThis study focused on continuous monitoring of the immunocontraceptive effect of Improvac® vaccine on the sexual activity of male goats determined by measuring plasma testosterone levels, testicular biometric and ejaculate examination. The animals in the

Plant-derived immunocontraceptive vaccines
Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 1997The use of transgenic or virus-infected plants to produce vitally needed vaccines for developing nations has been made possible by rapid advances in plant molecular biology and biotechnology during the last decade. Plant-based vaccines would be a welcome development for many impoverished countries that lack the capital-intensive infrastructure required

Sperm antigens and immunocontraception
Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 1995The development of novel forms of contraception is one way in which the world population crisis is being tackled. The concept of a contraceptive vaccine based on gamete-specific antigens is a particularly attractive approach. Much research has been carried out to identify sperm antigens which could be used as the immunogen.

The advent of immunocontraceptives represents the first truly novel approach to the development of family planning methods in over 30 years. Such products would have many advantages over existing contraceptives in that they would not elicit metabolic disturbances, would provide long-acting (i.e.

Immunocontraception and increased longevity in equids
Zoo Biology, 2006AbstractIntensive population management by means of fertility control has been shown to change the age profile of a wild horse herd. The primary change has been an increase in the number and percent of older animals, as expected, but also the appearance of new and older age classes. An examination of direct effects of fertility control on two groups of

Immunocontraceptive vaccines for human use
Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2002The development of safe, effective, reversible contraceptive vaccines for the regulation of human fertility would be a significant addition to our contraceptive armamentarium. However, because we are such an out-bred species, immunological responsiveness to any given vaccine is certain to exhibit a high level of inter-individual variation that will ...

Sperm Antigens and Their Use in the Development of an Immunocontraceptive
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 1997PROBLEM: Overpopulation is a global problem of significant magnitude, with grave implications for the future. World population is predicted to reach 10 billion people by the year 2050, an increase of more than 75% over the current population. Development of new contraceptives is necessary, since current forms of birth control are unavailable to many ...

Likely targets for immunocontraception in marsupials
Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 1997There is a growing need to manage marsupial populations as a means to mitigate economic and environmental damage and resolve animal welfare problems. In Australia, the problems of population management are highly specific and localized. In contrast, in New Zealand the problem is the control of the many millions of widely-distributed brushtail possums ...

Application of sperm antigens in immunocontraception
Frontiers in Bioscience, 1996Development of a vaccine(s) based on sperm antigens represents a promising approach for contraception. The utility of an antigen in immunocontraception is contingent upon its tissue specificity, involvement in human fertility, and immunogenicity. A number of antigens have been characterized from the sperm surface.
