Treatment and control

TREATMENT AND CONTROL
  • Immunity appears to be mainly humoral in that the organisms are not intracellular and bacterins give protection for short duration.
    • Dogs: Bacterins usually contain serovars, Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae.
    • Cattle: Bacterins usually contain serovars Hardjo, Grippotyphosa, Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae.
  • Combined penicillin, streptomycin are highly effective. The tetracycline and macrolide antibiotics are also effective.
