New exciting results coming out of VANE portfolio company, Dalan Animal Health, as highlighted in Forbes this week!! The Dalan vaccine is producing strong cross protection for honeybees against a variety of pathogens (viral and bacterial). AND, hot off the presses, the technology behind the Dalan honeybee vaccine has also been shown to provide significant protections for SHRIMP, a very exciting new market. Congratulations to Dalan on the great press and ground-breaking science!! #honeybees #animalhealth #vaccine #angelinvesting

Great piece by Amy Feldman at Forbes today about our work at Dalan Animal Health, Inc. to protect bees and the early results we've seen using our technology to protect shrimp from some of the most devastating diseases they face. Neither of these animals have had good solutions to protect them against disease. As a result farmers spend billions of dollars every year trying to do what they can and cope with massive losses. Losses don't just hurt the farmers. They also result in wasted emissions to grow feed for animals that end up dying or for power and fuel for farms. Most antibiotics are used in farm animals, not people. Shrimp and bees are no exception. We all pay the price. Literally, because losses drive food prices up, but also in the form of externalities like climate change and antimicrobial resistance. My colleague Morgan Halme started using the phrase, "Healthy Animals. Healthy Planet" internally and on our website and it's true. Animal health, planetary health, and human health are linked and effective vaccines are as close to a silver bullet as we've found. https://lnkd.in/ejHD9-FM
