Existing inactivated or modified live vaccines against FCV and FHV face limitations in safety and efficacy. To overcome these challenges, a recombinant strain FHV ΔgI/gE-FCV VP1 was developed by deleting the gI/gE gene and concurrently expressing FCV VP1, using the FHV WX19 strain as the parental virus. Results indicated the presence of FCV VP1 in FHV ΔgI/gE-FCV VP1-infected CRFK cells, confirmed through protein blotting and immunofluorescence assays and virus-like particles (VLPs) of FCV were observed using transmission electron microscopy. For efficacy in cats, each animal received intranasal vaccination with 1 mL of FHV ΔgI/gE-FCV VP1 at 10⁶ TCID₅₀. Following completion of vaccination on day 28, animals were exposed to a potent FCV strain. Assessments included clinical signs, nasal shedding, virus neutralizing antibodies, cytokine expression and postmortem histological testing. All vaccinations with FHV ΔgI/gE-FCV VP1 were deemed safe, with significantly reduced clinical disease scores, pathological changes and viral nasal shedding following infection and robust immune responses were induced.

The live recombinant vaccine based on a nonreplicating modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA-BN) poxvirus, MVA-BN-RSV, encoding for multiple proteins of RSV subtypes A and B, was assessed for efficacy against respiratory disease caused by RSV. Adults aged ≥60 years, with or without underlying chronic conditions, were enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of vaccine or placebo and were followed for disease caused by RSV infection during the 2022-2023 season. The 2 primary endpoints were RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) with ≥3 and ≥ 2 symptoms; acute respiratory disease (ARD) was a key secondary endpoint. The humoral RSV-specific immune response was assessed at baseline and 14 days post-vaccination. Safety was evaluated by collection of solicited adverse events (AEs) and unsolicited AEs for 7 and 28 days post-vaccination respectively, and SAEs for the entire study period. In total, 18,348 participants were included in the final efficacy and safety analyses. Vaccine efficacy was 42.9 % (95 % CI: -16.1; 71.9) against RSV-associated LRTD with ≥3 symptoms, 59.0 % (95 % CI: 34.7; 74.3) against LRTD with ≥2 symptoms, and 48.8 % (95 % CI: 25.8; 64.7) against ARD. The primary objective was not met for LRTD with ≥3 symptoms since the lower bound of the 95 % CI was below 20 %, the prespecified success criterion.

The vaccine displayed mild to moderate reactogenicity, and no safety concerns were identified. MVA-BN-RSV induced suboptimal protection against RSV-associated LRTD, likely due to suboptimal neutralizing antibody response.
