Brucella avis was first detected in sheep in South Africa during 1956 and reported by van Rensburg et al (1958). An extensive survey has since shown this infection to be so prevalent in flocks throughout the Republic that effective immunization would offer the only satisfactory method of control.

Immunization against Brucella infections: serological and immunological studies on a soluble antigen from Brucella melitensis.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Brucella melitensis produces as many as 36 precipitinogens, varying considerably in quantity with the different strains, and that the soluble constituents of B.melitensis induce antibodies active in agglutination, precipitation, blocking reactions, and cutaneous hypersensitivity.

The Brucella abortus RB51 vaccine does not confer protection against Brucella ovis in rams.

Serological titres following vaccination of sheep and goats with Brucella melitensis rev I vaccine.
TLDR
Serological titres following vaccination of sheep and goats with B. abortus antigen fell to negative levels within 5 to· 6 months of vaccination, while Agglutination at 37°C or 56°C, agglutinated in 5% NaCl, and Coombs tests are .less useful in vaccinated animals as titres remain at positive levels for much longer periods after vaccination.

Antigenic Relationship of Brucella ovis and Brucella melitensis
TLDR
The extensive cross-reactions between soluble antigens of B. Ovis and B. melitensis are added evidence that B. ovis belongs in the genus Brucella, as well as in allergic skin tests in rabbits.
EPIDIDIMITIS CONTAGIOSA DE LOS CARNEROS POR BRUCELLA OVIS
TLDR
Clinically the disease is characterised by chronic epididymitis and semen of poor quality and REV I vaccine has demonstrated to be the most effective despite it presents some practical inconvenience.
