Precision Protection for Poultry, Enabling Smarter Disease Control
DIFF-DIVA H9 is a first-in-class inactivated avian influenza vaccine designed to differentiate vaccinated birds from naturally infected ones, solving a critical challenge in global poultry health.
Core Technology
Using a proprietary reverse genetics system, we have inserted the Influenza B neuraminidase (NA) gene as a stable genetic tag into the backbone of an avian influenza A virus (H9 strain).
The DIVA Principle
Only birds immunized with DIFF-DIVA H9 produce antibodies against the Influenza B NA marker. Natural infection with field strains does not induce these antibodies, enabling accurate monitoring and supporting progressive disease control strategies.

Why DIFF-DIVA H9 Stands Out
- Versatile Platform: Applicable to H5, H7, and H9 strains, supporting broad disease control.
- Safe & Robust:Stable genetic markers ensure high safety and strong immune protection.
- Supports Eradication: Enables accurate monitoring, outbreak containment, and progress toward disease-free certification.
- Market-Ready: Designed for global poultry markets requiring DIVA-compliant vaccines.
DIFF-DIVA H9 is more than a vaccine — it is part of an integrated solution. We provide a comprehensive strategy of "DIVA vaccines + discriminatory diagnostics + regional eradication." This approach aims to reshape the avian influenza control landscape by realigning the entire industry chain towards sustainable disease elimination.
