Efficacy of vaccines against chlamydiosis and Q fever: Bringing-in the murine model
Abstract
As chlamydiosis and Q fever can affect ovine and caprine flocks simultaneously or successively, mouse models were used to demonstrate that simultaneous vaccination with the live Chlamydophila abortus 1B vaccine and the killed phase-I-Coxiella vaccine, administrated in two separate injection sites had no effect on their efficacy against subsequent challenges with either C. abortus or Coxiella burnetii.
