Thanks for the info. Title: Re: Nat Geo article on PBFD and the Cape Parrot Post by: grey782163 on December 28, 2012, 03:46:28 pm There is a vaccine in use already in Australia, but not approved in the US. That they think they could make it a species specific vaccine is nothing short of amazing!

Title: Re: Nat Geo article on PBFD and the Cape Parrot Post by: Sondra on December 28, 2012, 07:43:01 pm I knew about an experimental vaccine in Australia, but didn't know it really worked. That is so fantastic!
