Protective Efficacy of Decreasing Antigen Doses of a <i>Chlamydia abortus</i> Subcellular Vaccine Against Ovine Enzootic Abortion in a Pregnant Sheep Challenge Model by Morag Livingstone, Kevin Aitchison, Javier Palarea-Albaladejo, Francesco Ciampi, Clare Underwood, Antonia Paladino, Francesca Chianini, Gary Entrican, Sean Ranjan Wattegedera, David Longbottom

“…A similar reduction in bacterial shedding of infectious organisms following parturition was observed in the vaccinated groups compared to the challenge control group, which is important in terms of reducing potential transmission to naive animals. Conclusions: The results show that a dose of 10 µg antigen in the vaccine will be optimal in terms of maximising efficacy, reducing shedding at parturition, and ensuring it is cost-effective to produce for commercial manufacture.…”
