[QUOTE="John B, post: 12055, member: 207"] From what I have read this vaccine absolutely useless for treating clinical infections but it might have a place for stopping infections in the first place. Sometimes AFB occurs because hives have had a massive dose of spores either from a major robbing event or swapping of heavily infested gear but a lot of ongoing AFB problems come from lightly infected gear and often manifest as a single infected cell to start with although this quickly developed into a full-blown infection. For many hives if that first cell didn't occur then they would probably not go on to develop AFB. In areas where AFB is common then a huge percentage of hives will have some spores and most of those hives will not go on to develop AFB if their spor loading is low in the first place. I don't know enough about this Vaccine to know whether it would have this effect but it will be interesting to find out. [/QUOTE]
