Brucella abortus strain 19 vaccination of adult beef cattle and the effect of anthelmintics

Annual cumulative incidence of brucellosis reactors in Brucella abortus infected herds ranged from 5 per cent to 26 per cent in 4 anthelmintic treated herds compared to 9 per cent and 29 per cent in 2 untreated herds following whole herd vaccination. The proportions of field strain, strain 19, and no isolation reactors were not affected by anthelmintic treatment at vaccination. The serologic test results following strain 19 vaccination of brucella-free cattle were not affected by treatment with thiabendazole at vaccination. The data support the thesis that simultaneous oral administration of thiabendazole, levamisole or a combination of hexachlorethane and phenothiazine and subcutaneous injection of 3 x 10 to the 9th power. B. abortus strain 19 are compatible herd health management practices in herds with brucellosis
