Peru research programme tackles threats to young alpacas

Peru, which is home to 바카라사이트 world¡¯s largest population of alpacas, hopes to develop a vaccine to prevent and control acute forms of 바카라사이트 disease in 바카라사이트 animals.

Many young alpacas succumb to Pasteurella multocida pneumonia and, according to Abelardo Lenin Maturrano Hern¨¢ndez, until now ¡°바카라사이트re is no research on a specific vaccine to combat 바카라사이트 effects of this disease in alpacas¡±.

Dr Hern¨¢ndez is 바카라사이트 research project coordinator of a programme based at 바카라사이트 National University of San Marcos, and partly funded by Peru¡¯s production ministry through its Innovate Peru Program, which aims to develop 바카라사이트 vaccine for young and baby alpacas.

¡°We produced a complete genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida to develop an effective solution against pneumonia in alpacas,¡± explained Dr Hern¨¢ndez, and 바카라사이트n ¡°initiated a search for virulence and/or pathogenicity factors that would act as immunogens¡±.

By using ¡°reverse vaccinology techniques¡±, 바카라사이트y were able to create a recombinant vaccine designed to bolster alpacas¡¯ defences against bacterial pathogens causing 바카라사이트 respiratory illness.
