Rick, as I think you are aware, I have been most interested the use of the vector as applied to shrimp and other crustacean diseases for several years. The economic disasters that have resulted from infestations have literally wiped out some of the worlds largest shrimp resources.
When I last discussed this with the holder of the license and with another person who has done research into the field, we noted that the only remaining obstacle is the delivery method. That will be solved in time ... maybe that is the reason that I can be very patient. I've seen a lot of progress in the field and believe that it will be solved while I am still young enough to enjoy those barbequed yabbies. LOL
It would be geat to see research performed in the entire fish arena. In spite of some of the jokes from the early days, solving the major problems in both fish and crustacians alone would make our stock very valuable ... not to mention the benefits for mankind.
As for the equine market, it alone would provide a considerable jump in PPS if the announcement that the anti-inflamatory treatment has been proven. Research continues in the performance horse arena (pun intended) and hopefully it should get another kick start one of these days.
It may be a while before the botanicals start getting attention, but those possibilities are just as staggering as the zoological apps. All it is going to take is time, hard reasearch and .... of course ... the financing.
