Vaccine Preparation and Treatment Groups:

…The number of foals in each group was determined a priori, and foals were assigned randomly to each of the groups. The study groups were as follows: 1) low-dose inactivated virulent R. equi group (n=9), receiving 210¹⁰ CFUs of inactivated R. equi combined with 100 µg of cholera toxin subunit B (CTB, List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA) as a mucosal adjuvant, diluted in 100 ml of saline administered via nasogastric intubation; 2) high-dose inactivated virulent R. equi group (n=10), receiving 110¹¹ CFUs of inactivated R. equi with 100 µg of CTB diluted in 100 ml of saline via nasogastric intubation; 3) live virulent R. equi group (n=6), receiving 110¹⁰ CFUs of live R. equi diluted in 100 ml of saline administered via nasogastric intubation; 4) control with CTB group (n=9), receiving 100 µg of CTB diluted in 100 ml of saline via nasogastric intubation; and, 5) control without CTB group (n=8), receiving 100 ml of saline via nasogastric intubation. Treatments (i.e., live bacteria, inactivated bacteria, and negative controls) were administered by nasogastric intubation to foals at 2, 9, 16, and 23 days of age.
