Recombinant proteins as a platform technology for multi-serotype S. suis vaccines
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Despite the economic risk that Streptococcus suis represents for the pig industry, no commercial vaccine is yet available in Canada or elsewhere in the world. The lack of effective vaccines against this pathogen constitutes an economic burden for the Canadian pork industry (3rd largest agri-food sector in Canada). The project aims to combine the expertise of three partners (INRS, NRC-CNRC and EVAH Corp.) to identify and develop new sustainable vaccine solutions to prevent swine infections by Streptococcus suis.
