In New Zealand, the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecu/a) is a major vertebrate pest and research to develop a possum-specific method of immunologically-based fertility control (immunocontraception) is currently under way. This study examined the ability of three ZP2 peptide vaccines (ZP2(A), ZP2(8) and ZP2(C)) to elicit immune responses in possums and to interfere with their fertility and ovarian follicular dynamics. Female brushtail possums were randomly assigned to one of four treatment...
