Developing fertility control for rodents: a framework for researchers and practitioners
Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 87-107, January 2024.A framework to guide researchers developing wildlife fertility control applications requires iterative and parallel studies from the laboratory and enclosure studies through to population‐level, replicated field trials. Modeling different scenarios may guide field testing of fertility control either applied alone or combined with other management ...

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 ...

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 ...

Overcoming innate host resistance to vaccination: Employing a genetically distinct strain of murine cytomegalovirus avoids vector-mediated resistance to virally vectored immunocontraception [PDF]
, 2009 The laboratory strain of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), K181, has been successfully engineered as a vaccine expressing murine zona pellucida 3 (mZP3) for viral vectored immunocontraception (VVIC) in mice.

Immunocontraception in wild horses (Equus caballus) extends reproductive cycling beyond the normal breeding season. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Although the physiological effects of immunocontraceptive treatment with porcine zona pellucida (PZP) have been well studied, little is known about PZP's effects on the scheduling of reproductive cycling.
