Introduction: Some strains of Escherichia Coli, including intestinal pathogenic strains, commensal strains, and extra intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) have a significant impact on human health status. A standard vaccine designed based on conserved epitopes can stimulate a protective immune response against these pathogens. Additionally, enhanced expression at the infection site as a pathog...

Background: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) genotype VII has become the dominant genotype in China. However, NDV genotype II was used to make current commercial NDV vaccines. The mismatch of genotypes between circulating and vaccine strains of viruses may compromise the efficacy of vaccines. Methods: In this study, a current circulating NDV was attenuated by mutations of multiple basic amino acid...

In the last decade, the search for new vaccines against canine visceral leishmaniasis has intensified. However, the pattern related to immune protection during long periods after experimental infection in vaccine trials is still not fully understood. Herein, we investigated the immunogenicity and parasitological levels after intradermal challenge with Leishmania infantum plus salivary gland ext...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficacy and safety of a recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. METHODS The study was carried out in a general hospital in the city of Guarulhos, Southeastern Brazil, between 2002 and 2005. The recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine from Instituto Butantan (VrHB-IB) was tested in two clinical trials. In both trials, newborns were randomly allocated to the experimental ...

Background: Dengue is a global arboviral threat to humans; causing 390 million infections per year. The availability of safe and effective tetravalent dengue vaccine is a global requirement to prevent epidemics, morbidity, and mortality associated with it. Methods: Five experimental groups (6 mice per group) each of 5-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized with vaccine and placebo (empty plasmid) ...

brucellosis is a debilitative disease that imposes costs on both economy and society. it is shown that although the vaccine can prevent abortion, it does not provide complete protection against infection. in iran, brucella melitensis is a common causative agent for brucellosis and bp26 protein of this bacterium having a good antigenesity and an important vaccine candidate. in this study b. meli...

Description of the eviDence collection methoD: Active searches were made on the Pubmed/MEDLINE, Scielo/LILACS and Cochrane Library databases, using the following descriptive terms (MeSH terms): Vaccines, Vaccination, Immunization, Immunization Schedule*, Immunization Programs, Mass vaccination, Vaccines, Inactivated; Vaccines Attenuated, Vaccines,Synthetic; Antiviral Agents, Antibodies, Viral; ...

Two oil emuisified vaccines of Newcaslte disease were prepared from Lasota strain. The virus was propagated in 9-day-old chicken embryos through allantoic route. The haemagglutination titre of the allantoic fluid used for vaccine preparation was 2048. The fluid was inactivated by 0.1 per cent f nal concentration of formalin at 37 oc for 6 hours. Inactivated allantoic fluid was emulsified with a...
