Abstract: House mice, European rabbit and red fox are the three major vertabrate pests in Australia. From 1992 to 1999, Australia Cooperative Research Center sponsored 50 million Australia dollars for developing immuno-contraceptives for managing these three pests. In contract with the research in 1990's, much advance have been achieved by this program, e.g. the recombined immuno-contraceptive virus vaccine(rMCMV-ZP₃ and ECTV-ZP₃)for controlling house mice. Much progress have been also made in ecological aspects on the fertility control which is essential for assessing ecological risk and field release of vaccines. However, no breakthrough has been made in developing oral and non-GMOs vaccines. The oral delivery system is still the active research area for the immuno-contraception control.
