Israelis scientists: New anti-coronavirus vaccine for fowls is adaptable for humans

Researches at Israel’s Ministries of Science and Technology and Agriculture told reporters on Thursday that the anti-coronavirus vaccine for fowls they developed in the past four years can be adapted for humans. They estimate that it would take around two months for preclinical tests and a third month to be ready for vaccinating humans – if it is approved by international medical monitoring authorities. The researchers confirm finding close genetic similarities between the virus infecting fowls and the strain currently raising fears of a global human pandemic. Their transmission mechanisms are identical, say the Israeli research teams, which are led by Prof. Yaakov Pitkovsky, Dr. Hen Katz and Dr. Ehud Shahar.
