Dr. Linden Hu:
Yeah, I think there have been advances, especially on the vaccine front, even in the last couple of years. So, there is a human vaccine that is now in phase three trials, which is the final phase of trials before approval that I think we're probably a couple of years off from.
It's very similar to a previous vaccine that was approved and used in U.S. maybe 20 years ago, but this is a new variation on that, and we're very hopeful that it'll have very similar effects without side effects.
The other thing that just got approved last week is a vaccine for mice, actually. And there if you can treat the mice and vaccinate them and prevent them from carrying the disease, then the ticks don't get it. And then if you don't have infected ticks, you have less infected humans.
