Затраты на противоречивые сообщения о живых вакцинах при беременности.

Возросший риск причинения вреда в результате инфекции COVID-19 в период беременности подчеркивает важность включения беременных лиц в процесс разработки и внедрения вакцины COVID-19. Разрабатываются перспективные вакцины, в том числе платформы для репликации, которые, как правило, противопоставляются во время беременности из-за теоретического риска. Однако повторное применение вакцин происходит в период беременности и вокруг нее либо непреднамеренно из-за неустановленного состояния беременности, либо в случае рекомендации. Во-первых, ограничение изучения или использования повторных вакцин в пе

Mother-to-Child Transmission of Arboviruses during Breastfeeding: From Epidemiology to Cellular Mechanisms.

Most viruses use several entry sites and modes of transmission to infect their host (parenteral, sexual, respiratory, oro-fecal, transplacen … mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) during breastfeeding was highlighted for the vaccine strain of yellow fever virus (YFV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), and suggested for other arboviruses such as Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), dengue virus (DENV), and West Nile virus (WNV). In this review, we summarize all epidemiological and clinical clues that suggest the existence …

NMR backbone resonance assignment of Japanese encephalitis virus capsid protein.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a flavivirus in the same family as West Nile virus (WNV), dengue virus (DENV) and yellow fever virus (YFV), which are transmitted by mosquitoes. About 68 thousand people are infected with JEV every year. In many Asian countries, JEV is the main cause of viral encephalitis. There are no specific antiviral drugs for Japanese encephalitis. Capsid protein C is the core protein of virus particles. Many studies have revealed that capsid protein C plays an important role in the life cycle of flaviviruses. Although the structure of JEV capsid protein (JEVC) has bee…

Anti-Flavivirus Vaccines: Review of the Present Situation and Perspectives of Subunit Vaccines Produced in Escherichia coli.

This article aims to review the present status of anti-flavivirus subunit vaccines, both those at the experimental stage and those already available for clinical use. Aspects regarding development of vaccines to Yellow Fever virus, (YFV), Dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) are highlighted, with particular emphasis on purified recombinant proteins generated in bacterial cells. Currently licensed anti-flavivirus vaccines are based on inactivated, attenuated, or virus-vector vaccines. However, technological advances in the generati…

Methylene blue is a potent and broad-spectrum inhibitor against Zika virus in vitro and in vivo.

Many flaviviruses including the Dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus, Yellow Fever virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus are significant human pathogens, unfortunately without any specific therapy. Here, we demonstrate that methylene blue, an FDA-approved drug, is a broad-spectrum and potent antiviral against Zika virus and Dengue virus both in vitro and in vivo. We found that methylene blue can considerably inhibit the interactions between viral protease NS3 and its NS2B co-factor, inhibit viral protease activity, inhibit viral growth, protect 3D mini-brain organoids from …

Natural Ehrlichia ruminantium infection in two captive Arabian tahrs (Arabitragus jayakari) in Oman.

This study was investigated the cause of death of two captive adult Arabian tahrs (Arabitragus jayakari) died within 2-3 days after onset of fever and neurologic signs in a private farm in northern Batinah Region of Oman. Blood counting revealed leukocytosis attributed to neutrophilia and serum chemistry showed hypoproteinemia, increased creatine kinase and BUN. Upon autopsy, the animals exhibited mild ascites and hydrothorax, prominent hydropericardium, with large pale-yellow clear fluid coagulum, prominent epicardial petechiation, as well as severe pulmonary edema associated with frothy flui

New immunodeficiency syndromes that help us understand the IFN-mediated antiviral immune response.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Studying primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) provides insights into human antiviral immunity in the natural infectious environment. This review describes new PIDs with genetic defects that impair innate antiviral responses. RECENT FINDINGS: New genetic defects in the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway include IFNAR1 deficiency, which causes uncontrolled infections with measles-mumps-rubella or yellow fever vaccines, and possibly also cytomegalovirus (CMV); and IRF9 deficiency, which results in influenza virus susceptibility. Genetic defects in several pattern recognition rece…

T cell immunity to Zika virus targets immunodominant epitopes that show cross-reactivity with other Flaviviruses.

Zika virus (ZIKV) Infection has several outcomes from asymptomatic exposure to rash, conjunctivitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome or congenital Zika syndrome. Analysis of ZIKV immunity is confounded by the fact that several related Flaviviruses infect humans, including Dengue virus 1-4, West Nile virus and Yellow Fever virus. HLA class II restricted T cell cross-reactivity between ZIKV and other Flaviviruses infection(s) or vaccination may contribute to protection or to enhanced immunopathology. We mapped immunodominant, HLA class II restricted, CD4 epitopes from ZIKV Envelope (Env), and Non-struct…

Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) Diversity from Ovitraps in a Mesoamerican Tropical Rainforest.

Mosquito sampling using efficient traps that can assess species diversity and/or presence of dominant vectors is important for understanding … es chloropterus (Humboldt) and Trichoprosopon digitatum (Rondani). The former is a proven vector of Yellow Fever in sylvatic environments and the later has been found infected with several arboviruses. We also found that mosquito species abundance and diversity increased with canopy cover and in environments where leaf litter dominated the ground cover. Finall …

Co-protoporphyrin IX and Sn-protoporphyrin IX inactivate Zika, Chikungunya and other arboviruses by targeting the viral envelope.

The global situation of diseases transmitted by arthropod-borne viruses such as Dengue (DENV), Yellow Fever (YFV), Chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses is alarming and treatment of human infection by these arboviruses faces several challenges. The discovery of broad-spectrum antiviral molecules, able to inactivate different groups of viruses, is an interesting approach. The viral envelope is a common structure among arboviruses, being a potential target for antivirals. Porphyrins are amphipathic molecules able to interact with membranes and absorb light, being widely used in photodynami…

Идентификация мутации: Инструменты для разработки новой вакцины против флавивирусов.

Новые флавивирусы представляют собой растущую угрозу для здоровья людей во всем мире. На сегодняшний день существуют вакцины человека от вируса желтой лихорадки (YFV), японского энцефалита (JEV), вируса денге (DV) и вируса энцефалита (TBEV). Однако нет вакцины человека от других флавивирусов, таких, как вирус Зика (ZIKV) и вирус Западного Нила (WNV). Для того чтобы ограничить их распространение и защитить население от болезней, которые они вызывают, необходимо разработать вакцины против этих возникающих вирусов. В настоящее время возможно получить новые живые вакцины от флавивируса с использов

Notes from the field: hepatitis E outbreak among refugees from South Sudan - Gambella, Ethiopia, April 2014-January 2015.

In early April 2014, two South Sudanese refugees in the Gambella region of western Ethiopia experienced acute onset of jaundice, accompanied by fever. One patient was a pregnant woman aged 24 years evaluated at a routine prenatal clinic visit in Leitchour refugee camp. The second patient was a malnourished boy aged 1 year who resided in Tierkidi refugee camp. The boy died despite hospitalization. During the last 2 weeks of May, four more cases of acute jaundice syndrome (AJS), defined as yellow discoloration of the eyes, were detected in Leitchuor. By mid-June, an additional 50 AJS cases were

Siglec-1-positive plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in human peripheral blood: A semi-mature and myeloid-like subset imbalanced during protective and autoimmune responses.

Healthy donors immunized with yellow fever vaccine YFV-17D displayed different kinetics of the two pDC subsets during protective immune response. PDCs can be subdivided into two subsets according to Siglec-1 expression. These subsets may play specific roles in (auto)immune responses.
