Italy conducts trials of immunocontraceptive vaccine in wild boars

The immunocontraceptive vaccine has been tested in the United States and is now authorized in Italy on an experimental basis.

The Italian Ministry of Health has authorized field trials in wild boar of the immuno-contraceptive vaccine "GonaCon", developed by the APHIS (United States Department of Agriculture) Wildlife Service.

The zooprophylactic institutes of Lazio-Toscana and Mezzogiorno will carry out the tests.

The experimentation consists of the oral use of the GonaCon product in wild boars, for a period not exceeding 24 months.

The immunocontraceptive has already been tested in the USA but in the European Union, Italy is the first to authorize field trials.
