  • Publication number: 20240033337
    Abstract: Currently, there is no effective vaccination against M. bovis on the market, and treatment options become increasingly limited due to restrictions in the use of, and resistance to antibiotics. This is complicated by results that demonstrate the induction of vaccine-enhanced disease, upon the use of certain M. bovis proteins as a vaccine. Thus, there is an urgent need for an effective and safe M. bovis vaccine. A novel vaccine composition was found that comprises one or more recombinant proteins which (combined) contain one or more epitopes from each of a set of specific M. bovis proteins. Vaccines based on these recombinant proteins were found to be safe, and were effective in protecting ruminants against infection and disease resulting from a severe challenge infection with M. bovis, as was apparent from a strong reduction of lung damage and colonisation of the trachea.

  • Patent number: 9362736
    Abstract: A solid state switch module is provided for use in a power distribution network including an input differential protection connection for receiving a measured current value from an upstream module. The solid state switch module also includes an output differential protection connection for sending a measured current value. The solid state switch module includes a trip outlet for sending a trip signal to an upstream solid state switch, and a trip inlet for receiving a trip signal from a downstream solid state switch. The trip inlet is operably coupled to the switch. A current sensor measures the current value of a connected power transmission line across the solid state switch module. A summer adds a current input from a parallel module with the current measures by the current sensor. A comparator determines whether an amount of current lost between the solid state switch module and an upstream module is acceptable.
