The effect of immunocontraception on the behavior and reproduction of white-tailed deer
TLDR
Behavioral and reproductive consequences of porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraception were examined in a herd of white-tailed deer and Histological evaluations of ovaries failed to reveal among-group differences in ovarian architecture.

Stable Association of hsp90 and p23, but Not hsp70, with Active Human Telomerase*
TLDR
It is reported here that the hsp70 chaperone also associates with hTERT in the absence of hTR and dissociates when telomerase is folded into its active state, similar to what occurs with other chaper one targets.

Case studies in wildlife immunocontraception: wild and feral equids and white-tailed deer.
TLDR
These studies suggest that PZP immunocontraception can be successfully applied to certain free-roaming populations of wild horses and deer.

REMOTE ASSESSMENT OF STRESS IN WHITE RHINOCEROS (CERATOTHERIUM SIMUM) AND BLACK RHINOCEROS (DICEROS BICORNIS) BY MEASUREMENT OF ADRENAL STEROIDS IN FECES
TLDR
Measurement of either cortisol or corticosterone in feces appears to be reliable for adrenal axis monitoring in the white and the black rhinoceroses.

Applications of pig zona pellucida immunocontraception to wildlife fertility control.
TLDR
PZP immunocontraception of wildlife has potential because of > 90% effectiveness, the ability for remote delivery, via darts, reversibility after short-term use, a wide breadth of effectiveness across many species, a lack of debilitating side effects even after long-term treatment, and minimal effects upon social behaviours.

Remotely delivered immunocontraception in free-roaming feral burros (Equus asinus).
TLDR
Results demonstrate that, in free-roaming feral burros that are reproductively active all year round: (1) burros can be accessed for remotely delivered PZP vaccination; (2) P zonae pellucidae contraception is effective; (3) P ZP contraception is reversible; and (4) pregnancy can be reliably detected by faecal steroid analysis.

Long-term effects of porcine zonae pellucidae immunocontraception on ovarian function in feral horses (Equus caballus).
TLDR
Ten feral mares free-roaming in Maryland, USA, were inoculated with porcine zonae pellucidae (PZP) protein before the breeding season for three consecutive years (1988-90) and indicated that a third consecutive annual PZP booster inoculation is greater than 90% effective in preventing pregnancies in mares.

Effects of relaxation associated with brief restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST) on plasma cortisol, ACTH, and LH
TLDR
It is demonstrated that repeated brief REST-assisted relaxation produces a relaxation state associated with specific decreases in pituitary-adrenal axis activity.

Immunocontraception limits foal production in free-roaming feral horses in Nevada
TLDR
The results of this study confirm the feasibility of capturing large numbers of mares in the'field for treatment and demonstrate: (1) 1-year contraceptive efficacy of several PZP vaccine protocols, (2) greater effectiveness in 2-injection protocols than in 1-in injection protocols, and (3) a return to fertility in the second year after vaccination.
