🚀 Exciting Vaccine Breakthrough for Budgerigars! 🦜
24 Mar 2025
Paper entitled: 'mRNA Galsomes Vaccine Protects Budgerigars Against Virulent Chlamydia psittaci Challenge'
A new study led by provaxs member Prof. Dr. Daisy Vanrompay explores the potential of mRNA Galsomes as a vaccine against Chlamydia psittaci—a respiratory pathogen that threatens both birds and humans.
🔬 The research shows that mRNA-based vaccines significantly reduce clinical signs and chlamydial burden in budgerigars, with mRNA Galsomes offering enhanced protection. These findings mark an important step toward innovative avian vaccines and improved zoonotic disease control.
