ABSTRACT
The major reservoir of Yersinia enterocolitica and the main source of risk posed to human health are pigs. The objective of this study was to develop a method for pigs immunization with a suspension of immunogenic strains of Y. enterocolitica and to analyze the impact of this immunization on the course of immunological processes in animals, and thus to search for possibilities of preventing or reducing potentially negative effects of Y. enterocolitica experimental infections in pigs.
