Immunocontraception of male and female giraffes using the GnRH vaccine Improvac® [PDF]

Zoo Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 50-64, January 2022., 2022
I Protocols for contraception using the GnRH vaccine Improvac® were developed. A clear reduction of fecal hormone metabolites in female giraffes was achieved with three, and in males with four or five injections at 4‐week intervals. Effective booster injections were administered at 2‐month intervals in the first, and at three to 4‐month intervals in ...

Risk and protective factors for ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar in the EU, and mitigation measures for managing the disease in wild boar [PDF]

EFSA Journal
Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and ...

Immunocontraception for managing feral cattle in Hong Kong. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Conflicts between human interests and feral cattle in Hong Kong derive from growing numbers of free-roaming cattle. Public antipathy towards lethal population control led the local authorities to consider fertility control to reduce cattle numbers.

Human spermatozoa anti-proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 4 synthesis using New Zealand rabbit for novel immunocontraception in males [PDF]

Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2019
Purpose: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 4 (PCSK4, a 54-kDa protease) is expressed in the plasma membrane of the acrosome in human spermatozoa. It plays a critical role in penetrating the zona pellucida. Synthesis of human anti-PCSK4 might be

Serum anti-Müllerian hormone dynamics in mares following immunocontraception with anti-zona pellucida or -GnRH vaccines [PDF]

Theriogenology, 2018
Circulating anti-Müllerian hormone concentration (AMH) is positively correlated to the number of small growing follicles in the mare and may reflect ovarian function. Dynamics of AMH during immunocontraception have not previously been investigated.

Effects of Porcine Zona Pellucida Immunocontraception on Mare Body Condition and Foaling Season Length in Two Western Wild Horse Populations. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Simple Summary Herds of free-roaming, unowned horses can grow rapidly on rangelands with limited resources. Contraception can offer a humane, publicly acceptable method for slowing or stopping horse population growth and protecting the range.

Structural basis of ZP2-targeted immunocontraception

bioRxiv
Monoclonal antibody IE-3 prevents mouse fertilization by binding ZP2, a major component of the oocyte-specific zona pellucida (ZP). We show that an IE3-derived single-chain variable fragment (scFV) is sufficient for blocking fertilization in vitro and ...
