Abstract

 As horseshoe crab populations continue to decline on Long Island Sound, developing the COVID-19 vaccine presents another threat to the species.
 Horseshoe crab blood contains a cell that is used to test vaccines for contaminants that could obscure the results.
 John Tanacredi is a researcher at Molloy College, which surveys New York’s horseshoe crabs population every year. He found an uptick in numbers from last year, but the population is still considerably lower than 10 years ago.
