The American agricultural This week, the ministry approved the first for bees intended Serum, with which it will be possible to protect animals from extended (or American) breeding rot. This is the first insect vaccine to be licensed in the country, and scientists hope it will pave the way for combating viruses and other pests that are decimating the world’s bee population, according to reports. telex the The New York TimesReferring to
The vaccine was developed by a company called Dalan Animal Health. Prolonged brood rot is the most common and destructive bee brood disease.
It is possible to immunize an entire colony with a single queen bee
The portal puts it this way: the disease was previously Antibiotics In addition, it could essentially be curbed by burning the affected colony and all the equipment used there. With a vaccine, not only can they change this, but according to Dalail Freitak, associate professor of bee research at the University of Graz, they can also change the way scientists think about animal health. As he said, there are millions of hives around the world, and although bees have never had a robust healthcare system, they can now finally develop their resilience. Scientists have long believed that insects cannot develop immunity to the diseases they infect due to a lack of antibodies. In 2015, Fritak and two other researchers found a protein that can be used to trigger an immune response and also discovered that it is possible to immunize an entire colony with a single queen bee. Then, they decided that the first disease they would try to eradicate was rubber rot, and so the vaccine was born.
