The efficacy of an inactivatedMycoplasma strain F38-saponin vaccine in natural infection with contagious caprine pleuropneumonia was investigated. A total of 10,000 goats were vaccinated, out of which 400 were regularly monitored for a period of six months post-vaccination. Immunised animals remained free from infection throughout the period of observation. The antibody response was followed using complement fixation and slide agglutination tests. Both tests could detect F38 antibody in the majority of vaccinated goats but the slide agglutination test was found to be more sensitive than complement fixation. The significance of the results is discussed. |
