dc.descriptionThis work was carried out with the aid of a grant from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and with financial support from the Government of Canada, provided through Global Affairs Canada (GAC)en
dc.description.abstractResearchers have developed a heat-stable, single-shot vaccine that can protect sheep and goats from five common diseases and which is currently being fine-tuned for use with cattle. The project brief describes the next phase: researchers and vaccine companies will further develop and field test new vaccines. Early engagement with government agencies will facilitate regulatory approval prior to licensing and manufacturing. The goal is to produce vaccines that can be tailor-made for use in specific regions. Collaboration with regulatory bodies, agricultural ministries, professional associations, and vaccine producers will bring this much-needed innovation to farming families in South Africa, Kenya, and beyond.en
