Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), as the main agents causing hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), have become a serious public health concern in the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, various neutralizing B cell epitopes of EV71 were identified as targets for promising vaccine candidates. Structural studies of Picornaviridae indicated that potent immunodominant epitopes typically lie...
Vaccination during pregnancy is practiced in swine farms as one measure to control swine influenza virus (SIV) infection in piglets at an early age. Vaccine-induced maternal antibodies transfer to piglets through colostrum and stabilize the herd: however, maternally derived antibodies (MDA) interfere with immune response following influenza vaccination in piglets at the later stage of life. In addition,...
The outbreak of the 2009 influenza pandemic underscored the important role of swine in influenza virus evolution and the emergence of novel viruses with pandemic potential. Vaccination is the most common practice to control swine influenza in swine industry. Influenza virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines are an alternative approach and have been demonstrated to be immunogenic and confer protection against...
Influenza virus infections continue to cause production losses in the agricultural industry in addition to being a human public health concern. The primary method to control influenza is through vaccination. However, currently used killed influenza virus vaccines must be closely matched to the challenge virus. The ability of an elastase-dependent live attenuated influenza A virus was evaluated to...
Influenza A virus is an important respiratory pathogen of swine that causes significant morbidity and economic impact on the swine industry. Vaccination is the first choice for prevention and control of influenza infections. Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV) are approved for use in humans and horses and their application provides broad protective immunity, however no LAIV against swine influenza...
