The island is the site of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
So many tales have been associated with this long standing laboratory.
In 1954 the United States Department of Agriculture established the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. The center conducts research on animal pathogens to protect farmers, ranchers, and the national food supply. Because of the nature of the research, access to the island and the research facility is restricted.
In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security took ownership of the island and facilities; the Department of Agriculture continues to work on the island.
It is in dire conditions to revamp & questions whether to keep it in existence are plenty.
Days after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced a new foot-and-mouth disease vaccine that lacks live foot-and-mouth virus — the first of its kind — has gotten license from the federal government to be manufactured and used on animals on the U.S. mainland.
Foot-and-mouth disease is a virus that's highly contagious among livestock but relatively harmless to humans.The new vaccine is the result of a seven-year collaboration with industry partners GenVec Inc.
The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life.
