Vaccines, Volume 13, Issue 5

Background: Pre-existing cross-reactive antibodies (Abs) against common cold coronaviruses (CCCoVs) have been hypothesized to influence the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced Ab responses. Methods: Serum samples from healthy healthcare wo...

Poxvirus infections, particularly those caused by the monkeypox virus, have emerged as significant public health threats. Ocular manifestations constitute a severe potential clinical complication associated with these infections, potentially resultin...

Background/Objectives: In the past, FhSAP-2, an 11.5 kDa recombinant protein belonging to the Fasciola hepatica saposin-like/NK-lysin family, has been shown to induce over 60% partial protection in immunized rabbits and mice when challenged with F. h...

(1) Background: The currently circulating variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibits resistance to antibodies induced by vaccines. The World Health Organization recommended the use of monovalent XBB.1 sublineages...

Background/Objectives: Control of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in endemic countries relies on vaccination using live attenuated vaccines (LAVs). Most of these LAVs do not allow for the differentiation of vaccinated animals from infected animals...

Malaria remains a significant global health challenge. Although the recent approval of the liver-stage vaccines RTS, S and R21 marks significant progress in malaria control, challenges remain in achieving long-lasting and broad protection. In this re...

Background/Objectives: Vaccination is a key preventive measure against pneumococcal disease, but uptake rates remain low in high-risk populations. Limited information exists on pneumococcal vaccine uptake in individuals with a history of pneumococcal...

Background/objectives: Influenza vaccines are recommended and free in Australia for children aged <5 years, but uptake remains low at 25.8% compared to the targets of 40% and 50%. National data on barriers hindering paediatric influenza vaccinatio...

Background: Anti-HIV neutralizing antibodies (anti-HIV-nAbs) play a critical role in the immune defense against HIV by preventing viral entry and limiting replication. This study longitudinally evaluated the titers and variability of anti-HIV-nAbs in...

Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is caused by PRRSV. Modified live vaccines (MLVs) are widely used to control PRRSV infection, but their efficacy against the emerging NADC30-like variant remains unclear. This study aimed to e...
