No side reaction was observed on the safety test of EdwardsjeJJa tarda bacterin in mice. The protection index on efficacy test was greater than 10 times.
The immunization tests by intramuscular (IM) injection and/or immersion were carried out in eels. The results indicated the tube agglutination titer was detected from the second week till 16th week after IM vaccination in eels.
But the antibody titer in between the 5th to 12th week post Im injection was higher than in the rest of period, with the highest titer of 1: 1,280 observed. The immersion inoculations produced some what lower antibody titer than rn IM inocul-atons, but a persistent high titer was maintained in between the 5th to 12th week post immersion.
