    Notes
    Genetic engineers from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and Sydney University have produced a new vaccine against the sheep disease, foot-rot. Cheaper than existing multiple-strain products, this vaccine is made by using recombinant DNA methods to transfer a key gene from the slow-growing foot-rot bacterium into a less fastidious, fast-growing type. The gene controls the development of small hairs used by the bacterium to attach to human or animal tissue. The proteins in the hairs act as antigens, triggering the defence systems of infected animals.
