In a discussion with a friend this morning, I noted that bringing a vaccine
to market for AFB, is akin to offering one to humans for smallpox or polio,
since the incidence of disease is so low in most operations.
I would much rather have seen someone offer a vaccine for EFB or chalkbrood
instead, since we could more easily test it (although I'm seeing little or
none of either this spring).
