the PLAPROVA consortium focused on the use of plants proteins to produce vaccines against diseases such as avian flu, bluetongue, foot and mouth disease,
it could also be used to create vaccines for human diseases that are caused by viruses of the same family, such as hand, foot and mouth disease,
JEFF J MITCHELL/REUTERSA 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease led to the slaughter of huge numbers of sheep and cows.
Earlier attempts to produce a synthetic vaccine for foot and mouth disease were thwarted often by peculiarities of viral geometry.
Two other foreign diseases, African swine fever and classical swine fever, remain constant threats to the U s. industry. he best assurance for the timely identification of known and unknown threats is to employ techniques
emerging and foreign animal diseases using a single test, Rowland said. Currently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays represent one technology widely used for pathogen detection
Clostridium and Staphylococcus. he use of the microarray technology could help the U s. detect the emergence of foreign animal diseases at their outset to prevent major disease outbreaks,
