Zika vaccine '100% successful in clinical trials on rats', researchers declare

Trials of a new Zika vaccine have been 100 percent successful in blocking the virus and its devastating side effects, a report reveals.The global spread of the disease shows no sign of letting up, and efforts to control it have so far proved futile.However, the first clinical trial to test Zika-susceptible animals has found that a synthetic DNA vaccine successfully protected the immune system and brain of lab rats in every case.

Testing of investigational Zika vaccine in humans begins

The first of five early stage clinical trials to test the safety and ability of an investigational Zika vaccine candidate called the Zika Purified Inactivated Virus (ZPIV) vaccine to generate an immune system response has begun at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) Clinical Trial Center in Silver Spring, Maryland.Scientists with WRAIR, part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), developed the vaccine.The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is co-funding the Phase 1 clinical trial with WRAIR, serving as the regulatory sponsor and providing other support.

Experimental Zika vaccine looks promising in animal tests

An experimental vaccine has been shown to provide protection against the Zika virus in mice, and to mobilize an immune response against Zika in monkeys.The genetically engineered vaccine candidate includes genes that teach the immune system to recognize Zika by showing it several of the virus' surface proteins.Scientists are scrambling to find ways to protect large populations against Zika, a member of the flavivirus family that is the cause of severe brain abnormalities in babies born to women who were infected during their pregnancies.
