Competing Interests
The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. They would also like to clarify that the 'Hachaklait' is not a commercial company. It is a non-profit veterinary organization owned by the farmers who receive the service from it. 'Hachaklait' is not involved in the development of this vaccine and does not market the vaccine to farmers other than providing it to the farmers that own it. Additionally, Dr. MK was involved in this study as a student in Prof. EK's lab and not as an affiliate of the 'Hachaklait'. For these reasons Dr. MK has no conflict of interest in this manuscript.
