On the horizon… 🌄🧐

💉🦠🐷 What is that we see on the horizon? Could it be a safe, long-lasting, and potentially universal vaccine against swine flu?? You're goddamn right! A successful long-term experiment with live hogs indicates Nebraska scientists may be a step closer to achieving the feat. 

• Considering the significant role swine play in the evolution and transmission of potential pandemic strains of influenza, the results aren't only important to the pork industry, but for human health as well. 

Scientists are using a data-based computer technique whose algorithm enables them to analyze countless amino acid sequences among hundreds of flu virus variants and thus, create a vaccine "cocktail" expected to be at least 75% effective. Learn more details about the research here.
