Twenty Romney Marsh ewes, some 5 to 40 days pregnant, were inoculated with a strain of Brucella ovis onto the scarified mucous membrane of the vagina. Establish of infection was ascertained by recovery of the organisms from blood; supramammary and inguinal lymph nodes; the vagina, after initial disappearance of the organism from this organ; and the complement fixation tests. The bacteremia was transitory or intermittent, but organisms could not be recovered from blood, or any other tissue examined, after 98 days of infection. Abortions or placentitis were not observed. It is recommended that in countries where sheep breeding is aseasonal a sexual rest of infected ewes for at least 4 months must be part of any program for the control and eradication of ram epididymitis.
20只罗姆尼沼泽母羊，怀孕约5至40天，通过在阴道划痕的粘膜上接种一株绵羊布鲁氏菌进行感染。通过从血液、乳房上和腹股沟淋巴结、最初该器官中的细菌消失后的阴道中分离出细菌以及补体结合试验来确定感染的建立。菌血症是短暂的或间歇性的，但在感染98天后，血液或任何其他检查的组织中都无法分离出细菌。未观察到流产或胎盘炎。建议在绵羊繁殖无季节性的国家，感染母羊至少4个月的性休息必须成为任何公羊附睾炎控制和根除计划的一部分。
