Dr. Pratsaneeyaporn Posiri, a researcher at the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC), NSTDA has been awarded a £100,000 grant under the IVVN (International Veterinary Vaccinology Network) Pump Priming program. The granted project, “Baci-VAC, a novel RNAi vaccine from a non-pathogenic Bacillus subtilis cell expressing dsRNA-EHP to protect microsporidian infection in shrimp” aims to tackle a critical challenge in shrimp farming—disease caused by the microsporidian parasite Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP).
