PARTNERSHIP: NANOPARTICLE VACCINES AGAINST EMERGING POULTRY INFECTIONS

The major goal of this project is to develop effective, safe and easy to administer broad-spectrum vaccines against avian influenza. Those vaccines will significantly improve our preparation to control emerging and re-emerging infections, a goal that is supported by the Agricultural Biosecurity Program. In addition, gained knowledge will help in designing better vaccines against all animal respiraotry infections, aiming to provide a sustained food supply in the USA and worldwide, an important aim shared with NIFA-USDA.
