Immunisation of mares to control endometritis caused by Streptococcus zooepidemicus

摘要: Normal mares were immunised by the intramuscular and intrauterine administration of an antigen with adjuvant they unimmunised control later challenged instillation pathogenic Streptococcus zooepidemicus; response all was monitored clinically bacteriologically for seven days. Significantly fewer S zooepidemicus present in cervical swabs taken from than (P<0·01) degree inflammation genital tract also significantly less (P<0·001). This protective effect immunisation associated specific IgG serum, IgA uterine secretions. These results are first demonstration that a previous suitable can reduce infection reproductive mares.
