BANGOR, Maine - A Maine biotechnology company has been fined $500,000 for illegally smuggling a chicken virus into the United States from Saudi Arabia so it could create a vaccine.
U.S. District Judge John Woodcock on Friday followed the prosecutors' recommended fine against Maine Biological Laboratory of Winslow. The fine includes more than $319,000 in profits the firm made on the illegal vaccine.

Additionally, AVANT has appointed Lohmann Animal Health International (LAHI) as the exclusive distributor of its Megan Health poultry vaccines in North America, which AVANT believes leverages the value of its oral vaccine technology in a significant market opportunity outside of AVANT's own focus on human health care.
"AVANT has made significant progress in leveraging the value of its vaccine technologies for multiple human healthcare needs, as well as applications in animal health and food safety," commented Dr. Ryan.
