The main vector of the Zika virus is the Aedes aegypti mosquito prevalent in tropical countries but whose range is increasing with the effects of global warming, recognized as causing shifts in distribution of vector-borne diseases [3]; spread of the virus through mass gatherings to other countries becomes an additional worrying possibility. The issues here are of serious concern since the Aedes aegypti mosquito is also a primary carrier of the dengue virus and Brazil has not had much success in controlling that [4]. Coming soon after the scare of Ebola virus, and with the background of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the MERS and SARS epidemics, the near-pandemic of H5N1 bird flu and fatalities associated with the H7N9, the Zika virus epidemic has focused questions on containment and mitigation of viral activity and further zoonotic issues that may arise.","PeriodicalId":33466,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual Reality","volume":"1 1","pages":"01-03"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67333190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, vaccines made from recombinant Hemagglutinin (HA) subunit protein are often of low potency, requiring repeated boosting to generate a sustained immune response. Previously, we demonstrated improved immunogenicity of a plant-made H1 Hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine by chemical conjugation to the surface of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) which is non infectious in mammals. Antigen coated TMV is taken up by mammalian dendritic cells and is a highly effective antigen carrier for subunit protein vaccines. In this work, we tested the effectiveness of a TMV-H5 HA conjugate vaccine. We compared the TMV-H5 immunogenicity in mice, with and without an oil-in water squalene adjuvant, to H5N1 virus or HA protein alone, as measured by anti-H5 IgG titers and Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI). We then evaluated the efficacy of the TMV-H5 vaccine by lethal H5N1 virus challenge in mice. Our results show that a single dose of the TMV-H5 conjugate vaccine is sufficient to generate 40% survival, similar to H5 protein given with adjuvant, or 100% survival after vaccination with adjuvant, similar to H5N1 virus vaccination.","PeriodicalId":33466,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual Reality","volume":"1 1","pages":"01-06"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67333043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The virus circulates worldwide and can affect anybody, in any age group. The clinical features and complications associated with the disease are highlighted in Table 1. There are 3 types of seasonal influenza viruses – A, B and C. Type A influenza viruses are further classified into subtypes according to the combinations of various virus surface proteins. Among many subtypes of influenza A viruses, influenza A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) subtypes are currently circulating amongst humans. WHO, with its partners, monitors influenza globally, recommends seasonal influenza vaccine compositions twice a year for the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and supports member states efforts to develop prevention and control strategies. WHO works to strengthen national and regional influenza diagnostic capacities including antiviral susceptibility monitoring, disease surveillance, outbreak responses, and increases vaccine coverage among highrisk group.","PeriodicalId":33466,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual Reality","volume":"1 1","pages":"01-05"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67333167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Israeli H9N2 (G1 lineage) consists of five phylogenetic clades that were detected in the country since the year 2000. The influence of the inter-clade genetic differences on vaccine efficacy was evaluated by vaccination-challenge trials in specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens. Experimental vaccines utilizing isolates belonging to Israeli H9 clades IV and V were prepared with Montanide ISA 70VG adjuvant. When challenged with H9 AIV strains from different genetic clades and antigenic groups provided similar protection, indicating the existence of cross-genetic clade protection (i.e. reduction in amount of virus shed and number of chickens shedding virus). Notably, the protection conferred by both experimental vaccines was highly dependent on the infection dose of the challenge virus.","PeriodicalId":33466,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual Reality","volume":"1 1","pages":"01-05"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67333083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As there is currently no alternative, BCG will continue to be used in future as vaccine and also as a prime vaccine in a primeboost immunization in conjunction with new tuberculosis vaccines. Therefore, there is need to improve the characterization and the assays used for the quality control of BCG vaccine. In this article, we present the recent technological advancements in the quality control testing of BCG vaccine.

More studies are done with Mobilized Peripheral Blood Cells (MPBMSC) due to their plasticity on being able to be differentiated in mesenchymal tissues. Objective:The objective of this study was to standarize the mobilization, isolation, and characterization process of mesenchymal stem cells obtained from peripheral blood in an animal model. Methods: Four Suffolk sheep with ages of 2 years were mobilized using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Administration dose was 10mg per kilogram of body weight, applied in subcutaneous area every 24 hours, in three consecutive days. The mobilized cells were characterized by an antibody panel for surface markers (CD105, CD90, CD73, CD34, and CD45) and cultured in monolayer during 3 weeks. Results: All population of leucocytes cells have similar behavior during day 1 to day 4. We observed an improvement of populations at day 2 with maximum elevation at day 3 and decline at day 4 in the mobilized peripheral blood. Plastic adhesion and fibroblastic like morphology was observed in mobilized cells. Conclusions: Is feasible to increase the mesenchymal stem cells number in peripheral blood with the three day administration of G-CSF. Isolated cells expressed the characteristic markers of mesenchymal stem cells by flow citometry.","PeriodicalId":33466,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual Reality","volume":"1 1","pages":"01-05"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67333278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
