We are excited to share new experimental data on our bacterial vaccine's potential to significantly reduce Deformed Wing Virus variant B (DWV-B) in honeybees. In this experimental study, we found that AFB-vaccinated hives showed 83% average reduction in the levels of DWV-B quantities compared to controls, independent of mite load. "To our knowledge, this is the first use of activating the immune system using a dead bacterium to provide protection against a virus in an invertebrate. These results open exciting new possibilities for combating viral threats in honeybee populations, which have few methods for control available." said Dr. Annette Kleiser, CEO and co-founder of Dalan Animal Health.
