A University of Wisconsin research team is making some progress in developing a vaccine for avian influenza.
Dr. Adel Talaat tells Brownfield his research into a vaccine for low-path influenza began in 2017 and provided 100% protection for the birds, but that technology made it difficult to protect large flocks. Now, Talaat is working with new technology. “Right now, we’re trying to implement this, test our new technology against both low-path avian influenza, and hopefully if we pass this kind of threshold, we can definitely test it against high-path avian influenza as well.”
Talaat says so far, the research looks very promising.
