NewsElephant vaccine shows first signs of protection against deadly virus
Scientists have published the first peer-reviewed evidence that an experimental mRNA vaccine may help protect young Asian elephants from elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus, one of the deadliest diseases facing the species.

NewsIs the licensed Zaire ebolavirus vaccine suitable to combat the current Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak?
Researchers provide evidence of possible cross-protection through an already licensed Zaire ebolavirus vaccine.

NewsCOVID-19 vaccines remain effective despite helminth-induced immune modulation
In a preclinical study, researchers have found that mRNA- and protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines effectively protected Schistosoma-infected mice against the virus, despite the mice’s distinct immune response profiles.

NewsExpanding uses for bioengineered bacterial spores
Fused to the outer layer of bacterial spores, things like enzymes, biosensors, and drugs are easily stored under even extreme conditions.

NewsAntivaccine legislation is rising rapidly in US states, driven primarily by GOP push
A new study revealed that Republican lawmakers were responsible for 86 per cent of antivaccine bills introduced across state legislatures after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about public health.
-
News COVID-19 booster strategies provide lasting immunity
Smaller doses of COVID-19 booster vaccines can provide long-lasting immunity, helping to reduce costs and improve access to vaccination, according to research. The findings could also inform vaccine dosing and options during future pandemics.
-
NewsGenetically engineered Bifidobacterium shows potential for oral delivery of cancer vaccines
A novel oral vaccine platform using genetically engineered Bifidobacterium could enhance anti-tumor immunity. In an exploratory phase I clinical study, the vaccine was well tolerated and generated immunologic and clinical findings that warrant further investigation.

NewsNew study advances dry mRNA vaccine patch design
New research could help make future mRNA vaccines easier to store and distribute. The study identified conditions that help protect the particles that carry mRNA in dry vaccine patches, offering practical guidance for future patch design.

NewsTuberculosis vaccine changes brain’s immune environment and Alzheimer’s biomarkers in older adults
A study shows that BCG vaccines can alter immune responses and amyloid-beta biomarkers in non-Alzheimer’s participants, which may help explain previously observed links to lower disease risk.
-
NewsNew HIV vaccine shows unprecedented success in preclinical study
Scientists have developed an HIV vaccine that trains immune cells to see past HIV’s defenses. This HIV vaccine works by prompting the body’s immune system to make substantial numbers of rarely seen “broadly neutralizing” antibodies.

ArticleCOVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses
COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS‑CoV‑2 but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, researchers have shown.
-
NewsStudy: Three-in-one vaccine shows promise against ‘tripledemic’
A single-shot vaccine in development could protect against flu, COVID-19 and RSV simultaneously. In a study, researchers found that their three-in-one vaccine triggered protective immunity against all three respiratory diseases in mice, ferrets and cotton rats.
-
NewsBillions of doses later: Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise
A comprehensive review brings together global evidence to strengthen public trust and counter misinformation as mRNA vaccines expand to prevent and treat more diseases.

NewsBreakthrough for aquaculture: Oral vaccine protects fish from fatal nervous necrosis virus
A novel oral vaccine, that can be mixed into fish feed, provides an effective, practical and cost-effective method to protect fish from the highly deadly nervous necrosis virus.
-
NewsSame day administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines not associated with increase in adverse events
A target trial emulation found that same day coadministration of the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines was not associated with a higher risk of serious or clinically meaningful adverse events compared with receiving only an influenza vaccine.
-
NewsCase study: Fatal rabies in a child
Ontario’s first case of fatal rabies since 1967 provides critical guidance to help prevent death from rabies in future instances. The parents agreed to share their son’s case to help raise awareness of rabies.
-
NewsNatural compound may help boost vaccine responses
A team of researchers has found that the naturally occurring compound spermidine can help boost vaccine response in older adults by reducing molecular markers of immune system ageing.
-
NewsNew vaccine offers hope against growing tropical disease in U.S.
Researchers have developed a first-ever vaccine against leishmaniasis, a disease putting 10% of the world at risk. A game changer was the development of CRISPR gene-editing technology.

NewsProtective human antibodies target West Nile and related viruses
New research defines vulnerable sites on West Nile virus that could inform vaccine development, and highlight antibody candidates with prophylactic and therapeutic potential. They may also guide interventions for a wider group of encephalitic orthoflavivirus infections.
