Scientists have developed a vaccine against the corona virus using snakes

 NEW YORK (Monitoring Desk) - Although a vaccine for the corona virus has been developed,

 experts are still exploring new ways to develop the vaccine. In the same effort, American scientists have now discovered a way to make a vaccine from snakes. According to Mail Online,

 scientists have discovered a compound in the Burmese dragon found in the forests of the US state of Florida, which is also found in the vaccine for corona virus. The name of this compound is Squalene

This compound is a natural substance like oil. On a commercial scale, it is extracted from fish oil. It is especially found in the liver of sharks. However, extracting it from sharks is a controversial process,

 as sharks are at risk of extinction. Therefore, experts say that this compound can be obtained from this Burmese breed of dragon found in Florida instead of sharks. Scientists also say that the compound in a 10-foot dragon is large enough to produce 3,500 doses of the vaccine.

 The compound was first used to make vaccines in 1997, when it was exposed to influenza. Was vaccinated.
