VIDO and UBC develop E.coli vaccine for cattle: Could help reduce human
disease
Ottawa (Dec. 15, 2003) - Canadian health researchers at the University of
Saskatchewan and the University of British
Columbia have developed a vaccine that significantly reduces the level of
Escherichia coli 0157:H7 (E.coli) in cattle.
The vaccine will help to reduce the dramatic economic and healthcare costs
associated with E.coli 0157, the toxic
microbe responsible for hamburger disease, recalls of contaminated meat, and
water contamination.
