Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University, has filed a patent application to protect the technology and its applications

The toxins carried on the arrows will eliminate competing bacteria

According to Dr.

"Because we want to avoid injecting antibiotics into aquaculture farms, a biological solution like the one we developed is an effective alternative
