SUMMARY Studies into the immunisation of bulls against infection with Tritrichomonas foetus showed that subcutaneous administration of vaccines containing killed cells of T. foetus in a mineral oil adjuvant prevented the eliminted genital infection in most bulls up to the age of 5 years. Immunisation did not effectively prevent or cure infection in bulls older than 5.5 years.
