Abstract

Neither sheep immune to the Ball 3, the Kwanyanga or the Mara stocks of Cowdria ruminantium nor those immunized with combinations of these 3 stocks were protected against challenge with the Mali stock. Against challenge with the Welgevonden stock, however, immunization with each of the 3 combinations and with single stocks effected a protective immunity.
