🧬Innovation Monday: DIVA Vaccines🧬
Vaccinated or actually sick? Standard vaccines make it tough to tell the difference on a blood test, but DIVA vaccines completely solve that puzzle.
By leaving out a specific marker antigen found in the wild virus, these smart vaccines allow us to easily spot the difference between protected animals and active infections. It is a massive win for managing major outbreaks like avian influenza and keeping international trade moving safely. 🔬✨
So, are you familiar with how DIVA vaccines are used in global disease eradication, or is this your first time hearing about them?
