Journal ArticleDOI
Review of issues concerning the use of reproductive inhibitors, with particular emphasis on resolving human-wildlife conflicts in North America
TL;DR: An overview of past wildlife contraception efforts is provided and the current state of research is discussed, including meeting the requirements of regulatory agencies for use in the environment and on the biological and economical feasibility of their use.
Journal ArticleDOI
The single-shot GnRH immunocontraceptive vaccine (GonaCon) in white-tailed deer: comparison of several GnRH preparations.
TL;DR: In this article, a single-injection, multi-year, GnRH contraceptive agent is needed to control reproduction in overabundant white-tailed deer populations, and two GnRH conjugates, GonaCon™ (GnRH-KLH) and gonaCon-B™ (gnRH−blue protein), were prepared in emulsion form as one-in-and twoinjection immunocontraceptive vaccine formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunocontraception of Florida feral swine with a single-dose GnRH vaccine.
TL;DR: Methods to limit fertility of feral swine are needed to reduce transmission of diseases and agricultural and ecosystem damage.

TL;DR: Single-dose GnRH treatment resulted in testosterone concentrations and semen quality consistent with immunocastration in a majority of cats treated, and Histologic evaluation of the testes revealed that in responder cats, the interstitial cells were pale and shrunken compared to the plump, polyhedral eosinophilic cells in sham-treated cats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contraception of bison by GnRH vaccine: a possible means of decreasing transmission of brucellosis in bison.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single dose of GnRH vaccine is effective in preventing pregnancy in female bison for at least 1 yr.
