Bovine vibriosis vaccination: immunity conferred by a single biotype.

An adjuvant vaccine was prepared from an Australian isolate of Campy-lobacter fetus subsp fetus biotype intermedius and injected into 23 virgin Guernsey heifers. Ten nonvaccinated animals served as controls. When challenged by the intravaginal route with a culture of either the homologous strain or biotype venerealis, weekly swabs from the anterior vagina continued to yield either biotype in 8 of 10 nonvaccinates at 6 weeks as compared with 3 of 23 vaccinates. Serology in vaccinated heifers and rabbits showed that the vaccine produced high titres of antibody against both homologous and heterologous strains.

A dual vaccine for the immunisation of cattle against vibriosis.

Single subcutaneous injections of a mineral oil adjuvant vaccine containing 20 mg dry weight of Campylobacter fetus subsp fetus biotype venerealis cells and 20 mg dry weight of C. fetus subsp fetus biotype intermedius cells per 5 mil dose protected 2- and 3-year-old heifers and 3- and 4-year-old cows against genital infection with either organism.

Immunisation of cattle against vibriosis with vaccines prepared from Campylobacter fetus subsp fetus.

Subcutaneous administration of vaccines prepared from cells of Campylobacter fetus subsp fetus strain A28 to heifers gave substantial protection against infertility due to C. fetus subsp venerealis strain B6. Strains A28 and B6 had different heat-stable antigens and conformed respectively to serotype B and serotype A of Berg et al (1971). The results suggested that the protective antigens were heat-labile antigens common to both strains. Although vaccines prepared from serotype B strains of C. fetus subsp fetus could be used to immunise cattle against vibriosis, the results did not suggest that their use in preference to those prepared from C. fetus subsp venerealis would offer any advantages.
