Effectivity of Rev 1 vaccine in rams against brucella ovis infection.
Vaccination with Rev 1 at four months of age protected rams against experimental infection with Brucella ovis. A double vaccination did not improve immunity whereas rams vaccinated later in life showed a decreased immunity to the infection. Lesions and complement fixation reactions were found to be inadequate criteria for the diagnosis of the disease in the individual ram.
