Further, two Replikins synthetic vaccines have been found by others to be effective against H5N1 influenza in chickens (TransFlu(TM)) (ref. 3) and against lethal Taura Syndrome virus in shrimp. These synthetic non-biological methods produce Replikins vaccines in 7 days rather than the six to eight months required by older biological methods. Regardless of which method of vaccine production is used, even using standard biological methods, one year of additional time to produce and test vaccines is now possible.

United Kingdom's UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) announced that BioRadar UK Ltd. has "one of the first reliable systems for accurately predicting the strain of future flu outbreaks together with the severity and duration." Subscriptions to the Replikins BioRadar Global Surveillance System(TM) are being received by BioRadar UK Ltd.
