Bioinformatics in New Generation Flavivirus Vaccines
Flavivirus infections are the most prevalent arthropod-borne infections world wide, often causing severe disease especially among children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. In the absence of effective antiviral treatment, prevention through vaccination would greatly reduce morbidity and mortality associated with flavivirus infections. Despite the success of the empirically developed vacc...
متن کاملFlavivirus vaccines: Innovate, invest, implement
World Immunization Week 2016 is April 24–30. Coincidentally, on April 4 the Philippines launched a dengue immunization program targeting more than 1 million schoolchildren using the world's first dengue vaccine, CYD-TDV (Dengvaxia®). It took more than 20 years of research and development, including two Phase 3 clinical trials involving over 35,000 participants aged 2–16 years, for this new vacc...
متن کاملParasite vaccines: the new generation.
Parasites cause some of the most devastating and prevalent diseases in humans and animals. Moreover, parasitic infections increase mortality rates of other serious non-parasitic infections caused by pathogens such as HIV-1. The impact of parasitic diseases in both industrialised and developing countries is further exacerbated by the resistance of some parasites to anti-parasitic drugs and the a...
متن کاملReview: current and new generation pneumococcal vaccines.
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPVs) and conjugate vaccines (PCVs), of which PPV23 and PCV13 are the current front runners, have had a significant, beneficial impact on public health. With regard to PPV23, there has been some debate, however, about its protective efficacy against all-cause pneumonia, as opposed to invasive pneumococcal disease, in high-risk cases. PCVs, on the other hand...
متن کاملNeglected tropical diseases, bioinformatics, and vaccines.
More than 2.5 billion individuals living in the tropics are estimated at risk of contracting at least 1 neglected tropical disease. Half of these individuals may be exposed to or have concomitantly ≥2 neglected tropical diseases, including those caused by helminths, schistosomes, parasitic protozoans, and viruses. Although the death toll caused by all neglected tropical diseases is not as high ...
