The classical development of vaccines has been to attenuate the organism and administer a primary immunization followed by one or multiple booster injections. This approach worked very well for the classical “childhood” diseases. Today we face a multitude of problems with this paradigm. The development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, emerging viral infections, and problematic patho...

A population of 29 bands of wild horses were identified. Bands were divided into three treatments (receive vaccine 9 bands with 26 mares; receive placebo 2 bands with 8 mares; control 18 bands with 63 mares). The initial vaccine and placebo was injected into 24 mares from 9 bands and 8 mares from 2 bands, respectively, during the muster in June 1995. A booster vaccine was successfully administe...
