Update: Final Environmental Assessment Documents for the Study “Evaluation of GonaCon"

Veterinary Services (VS) has added two documents associated with the environmental assessment for the proposed study “Evaluation of GonaCon, an Immunocontraceptive Vaccine, as a Means of Decreasing Transmission of Brucella abortus in Bison in the Greater Yellowstone Area” to the brucellosis Web page at www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_diseases/brucellosis/.

 

The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate whether GonaCon, an immunocontraceptive vaccine, would be effective as a method of decreasing the prevalence of brucellosis in the Yellowstone National Park bison population by preventing pregnancy, calving, and abortion, thereby preventing transmission of brucellosis.
