Notable milestones in 2023 include: Proof-of-concept Vaccine Development - The Foundation successfully created and tested the first-of-proof concept immunocontraceptive vaccine for a wild boar.Utilizing a live-attenuated swine pox virus as the vaccine vector, researchers infected porcine kidney cell lines and successfully transferred the gene for green fluorescent (GFP) to live pig cells. Future Vaccine Enhancements- Plans are in place to replace GFP with GnRH or other reproductive hormones, aiming to create a single-dose, non-surgical sterilization method that could sterliize tens of thousands of wild boars. This approach will help eliminate reliance on inhumane population control methods such as poisoning, trapping, and aerial shooting. 39899 Spay & Neuter Programs - Recognizing the vital role of spay and neuter services in controlling pet populations, the Tarshis Foundation provided substantial funding to support affordable spay & neuter programs in underserved communities.
