Products
Inactivated-bacterin vaccine for honeybee brood protection
An orally administered biologic packaged in multi-dose vials intended to prime maternal insects and confer larval protection against brood disease using inactivated bacterial material.
Vaccinated queens distributed via certified producers
Vaccinated maternal organisms (queens) produced by certified producers and sold to beekeepers as a turnkey disease prevention option.
Shrimp vaccine (development-stage)
R&D-stage vaccine program targeting shrimp pathogens relevant to aquaculture (e.g., white spot syndrome and early mortality syndromes) based on adaptation of the platform technology.
