Non-lethal elephant population control methods: Summary of the first workshop of the Elephant Specialist Advisory Group of South Africa

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2018
Management interventions are necessary to control elephant numbers within fenced wildlife reserves in South Africa. Use of non-lethal control methods is increasing, but information about their suitability and effects are not widely available.

Implementing immunocontraception in free-ranging African elephants at Makalali Conservancy [PDF]

, 2007
The goal of programmes to provide contraception for elephants should be to formulate an approach that does not require the relocation or immobilisation of the same individual year after year, which would be long-lasting and cause minimal disruption to ...

GnRH Immunocontraception of Male and Female White-Tailed Deer Fawns

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Immunocontraceptive vaccines based on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) have been tested in adult white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), but their effects on fawns are unknown.

Physiological Effects of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Immunocontraception on White-Tailed Deer

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Before immunocontraceptives can be considered safe to use on wildlife species, potential health risks should be assessed. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) immunocontraceptive has successfully reduced fertility of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...

IMMUNOCONTRACEPTION AND POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN WILDLIFE DAMAGE MANAGEMENT [PDF]

, 1995
lmmunocontraception technology appears to have viable application in wildlife damage management. However, administration of these vaccines is presently performed by syringe injection or remote delivery by darts or bio-bullets.

Projected population size for the Munyawana elephant population under different immunocontraception scenarios for a 20-year time period.

, 2013
Results are shown for the current Munyawana immunocontraception plan, no application of immunocontraception on the population, and two contraception scenarios (Scenarios 6 and 7) that resulted in the most extreme projections.

The projected Phinda elephant population as family groups and divided into age classes represented as absolute numbers under different immunocontraception scenarios.

, 2013
The age classes are classified as 0–2 years: infant, 2–4 years: juvenile, 5–8 years: intermediate, 9–12 years: sub-adults, older than 13 years are classified as an adult.

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

The feasibility of rabies virus-vectored immunocontraception in a mouse model [PDF]

, 2014
Immunocontraceptive vaccines may be an alternative to surgical sterilization. Dual rabies vaccination and dog population management is a helpful tool for rabies prevention.
