Using recombinant DNA technology an artificial strain of Brucella suis (1330ActpA) has been developed which combines the antigenic properties of several other Brucella species, including those which cause illness in cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and humans.

The vaccine produced is attenuated in virulence and immunized mice effectively against ...

Swine pleuropneumonia due to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a major cause of respiratory disease throughout the world. Current killed vaccines are ineffective. Preliminary studies of a live attenuated serotype 5 strain indicate that it cannot cause disease when pigs are challenged by intratracheal inoculation with 10 times the 50% ...
