Tick saliva could hold cancer cure Fri, Aug 28, 2009 AFP
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - It may be one of nature's repulsive little blood-sucking parasites, but the humble tick could yield a future cure for cancers of the skin, liver and pancreas, Brazilian researchers have discovered.
They have identified a protein in the saliva of a common South American tick, Amblyomma cajennense, that apparently reduces and can even eradicate cancerous cells while leaving healthy cells alone.
If you look at this please know these idiots also
developed a H1N1 vaccine for chickens by
attaching it to Fowl Pox. So for whats it worth...
* Killed vaccine is available in limited areas. * Quarantine, depopulation and eradication of virulent form is mandated under law in the US. * Strict biosecurity is needed. * Control of live birds market in large North Eastern US cities is important to prevent the spread of the virus. * Recombinant AI vaccine available in Mexico contains H gene cloned into fowl pox vector.
