Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaccines have historically been considered to be the most cost-effective method for preventing communicable diseases. It was a vaccine that enabled global eradication of the dreaded disease smallpox. Mass immunization of children forms the anchor of the strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) to attain "health for all" status by the year 2000. Vaccinology is undergoing a dimensional change with the advances that have taken place in immunology and genetic engineering. Vaccines that confer short or inadequate immunity or that have side effects are being replaced by better vaccines. New vaccines are being developed for a variety of maladies. Monoclonal antibodies and T cell clones have been employed to delineate the immunodeterminants on microbes, an approach elegantly complemented by computer graphics and molecular imaging techniques. Possibilities have opened for obtaining hitherto scarce antigens of parasites by the DNA recombinant route. Better appreciation of the idiotypic network has aroused research on anti idiotypic vaccines. Solid-phase synthesis of peptides is leading to an array of synthetic vaccines, an approach that is expected to attain its full potential once the sequences activating suppressor cells are discovered and the rules for presentation of antigens to T and B cells are better worked out. A new breed of vaccines is on the horizon that seeks to control fertility. Originally conceived to intercept a step in the reproductive process, they are conceptual models for developing approaches to regulate the body's internal processes.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The viral proteins of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were expressed in a baculovirus expression system. They were evaluated for protection of pigs against the respiratory disease and for function in virus-cell interactions. The open reading frames 2 to 6 products were confirmed to be membrane associated proteins as they were detected on the surface of viable insect cells by an immunofluorescence assay. Immunization of pigs with vaccines comprised of a combination of GP2, GP3 and GP4 or a combination of GP5, M and N proteins induced partial protection, but immunization with combination of GP5 and M proteins failed to induce protection. Immunization of pigs with the first two vaccines significantly reduced the severity of clinical respiratory disease (P

Download or read book Antiviral Strategies written by Hans-Georg Kräusslich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A crucial issue for antiviral therapy is the fact that all antiviral substances rapidly select for resistance; thus, monitoring and overcoming resistance has become a most important clinical paradigm of antiviral therapy. This calls for cautious use of antiviral drugs and implementation of combination therapies. In parallel, efforts in drug discovery have to be continued to develop compounds with novel mode-of-action and activity against resistant strains. This book reviews the current status of antiviral therapy, from the roads to development of new compounds to their clinical use and cost effectiveness. Individual chapters address in more detail all available drug classes and outline new approaches currently under development.

Download or read book Emerging Swine Infectious Diseases written by Tao Lin and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As major threats to the global swine industry, swine infectious diseases caused significant economic losses and potential public health issues. During the past three decades, many swine infectious diseases emerged in the field, such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and its novel isolates with distinct pathogenicity, high pathogenic variants of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) and influenza viruses, which lead to tremendous economic losses worldwide. A few novel pathogens identified recently, such as Senecavirus A, atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV), PCV-3, PCV4, PDCoV, SADS-CoV, influenza D, constitute a new challenge. Although significant effects have been made to study these emerging infectious diseases, there are still gaps in many aspects, such as the pathogenesis mechanisms, structure and function of viral proteins, protective immunity, and viral evolution. For disease control, new approaches for prevention and treatment of infectious diseases are urgently required. To fill these gaps of knowledge, we encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in the below aspects: - Genomic structure and function - Virus-host interaction - Viral and/or host dependency for virulence and transmissibility of the disease - Antiviral countermeasures - Vaccine design - Disease control programs
Download or read book Pathogenic mechanism of porcine viral disease written by Mengmeng Zhao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swine virus diseases pose a significant threat to the pig industry due to their highly contagious nature and ability to cause immense harm. Once a pig is infected, the risk extends to the entire farm or even a larger area. In recent years, there has been an emergence and re-emergence of disease pathogens that have been able to overcome existing immune defense mechanisms through continuous recombination and evolution. As a result, current immune prevention and control measures have become ineffective. Notable examples of these diseases include African swine fever virus (ASFV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV). These viruses constantly mutate under various selection pressures, including immunity within the host body and vaccine-induced immunity. Furthermore, with the increase in international trade, the spread of these viruses has become more rapid and extensive. Moreover, it is worth noting that similar virus strains originating from different regions have the potential to undergo recombination, resulting in the emergence of recombinant mutant strains. These mutant strains can pose a challenge to existing immune prevention and control measures, thereby adding complexity to the ongoing efforts in disease prevention and control.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is the most costly virus to the swine industry, worldwide. This study explored the application of deep sequencing techniques to understand better the virus-host interaction. On the virus side, PRRSV exists as a quasispecies. The first application of deep sequencing was to investigate amino acid substitutions in hypervariable regions during acute infection and after virus rebound. The appearance and disappearance of mutations, especially the generation of a new N-glycosylation site in GP5, indicated they are likely the result of immune selection. The second application of deep sequencing was to investigate the quasispecies makeup in pigs with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) that lack B and T cells. The results showed the same pattern of amino acid substitutions in SCID and normal littermates and no different mutations were identified between SCID and normal littermates. This suggests the mutations that appear during the early stages of infection are the product of the virus becoming adapted to replication in pigs. The third application of deep sequencing was to investigate the locations of recombination events between GFP-expressing PRRSV infectious clones. The results identified different cross-over occurred within three conserved regions between EGFP and GFPm genes. And finally, the fourth goal was applied to develop a set of sequencing tools for analyzing the host antibody repertoire. A simple method was developed to amplify swine VDJ repertoires. Shared and abundant VDJ sequences that are likely expressed by PRRSV-activated B cells were determined in pigs that had different neutralization activities. These sequences are potentially correlated with different antibody responses.
