In what could be a game changer for the poultry industry, the University of Guelph is working on an avian flu vaccine that could save the lives of millions of Canadian birds.
Dr. Fatemeh Fazel’s team is working on providing a scientific alternative to culling flocks, which at present is the only way to tackle epidemics in this country.
“This work is giving us vaccine platforms that can help us fight back – to be prepared and respond with new solutions,” said Fazel, whose efforts have been likened by colleagues to the search for the Holy Grail.
