Scientists at Chester Zoo have helped to develop the world's first vaccine to protect endangered elephants against a deadly virus A groundbreaking new vaccine - the first of its kind - can now be rolled out globally to help in the battle against a deadly virus that has devastated endangered elephant populations.Developed by leading scientists at Chester Zoo, the University of Surrey, and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), the vaccine targets elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV), one of the most serious threats facing young Asian elephants worldwide.The breakthrough was published today in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, following a landmark proof-of-concept trial.The vaccine was shown to be safe and effective in triggering a strong immune response - a crucial step toward preventing EEHV, a disease that can kill elephants in just 24 hours., Credit:Chester Zoo / Avalon
