"Zoos South Australia has lead a landmark study using an Adelaide-developed
vaccine to protect vulnerable animals against Covid.

Published results show the vaccine is a “safe and effective veterinary
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.”

The work lead by Zoos SA veterinarian David McLelland follows sickness and
death of zoo animals overseas which contracted the disease.

It used the veterinary Covid vaccine SpikeVet, an offshoot of the human vaccine
SpikeoGen developed by Nikolai Petrovsky’s Bedford Park-based Vaxine company
which is licenced in the Middle East for human use.

Nine Australian zoos including Adelaide and Monarto as well as in NSW,
Victoria, WA, Queensland and the ACT participated in the study which saw 354
zoo animals, representing 38 species, receive 867 doses.

These included lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, servals, lemurs, meerkats,
pygmy hippopotamus, Australian sea lions, dingoes, foxes, African wild dogs,
red pandas, otters, sun bears, hyenas, tamarins, monkeys, mandrills, langurs,
gibbons, capuchins, orang-utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and domestic goats."
