RNA-seq Analysis of the BCG Vaccine in a Humanized Mouse Model

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal.  This study was aimed at screening differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and exploring the potential immune mechanism induced by the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine in a humanized mouse model.   Candidate DEGs between mice vaccinated with BCG or injected with PBS were identified through transcriptomics, and their biological […]

Development and Efficacy Evaluation of an SP01-adjuvanted Inactivated Escherichia Coli Mutant Vaccine Against Bovine Coliform Mastitis

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common pathogens causing clinical mastitis in cattle, but no vaccine is available to prevent this disease in China. Therefore, development of an E. coli vaccine against bovine clinical mastitis is urgently needed. In this research, the candidate vaccine (Ch-O111-1) and challenge […]

In silico Design of a Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Glycoprotein Multi-Epitope Antigen for Vaccine Development

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal.  No licensed vaccine is available to prevent the severe tick-borne disease Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by the CCHF virus (CCHFV). This study sought to show that a combination of computational methods and data from published literature can inform the design of a multi-epitope antigen for CCHFV […]

Global Infectious Diseases, August 2022

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Infectious diseases have greatly affected the development of human history, owing to their unpredictable zoonotic characteristics. The recording of infectious diseases epidemic data provides information on disease transmission trends and enables research on the risk of penitential epidemics and the mechanisms of transmission of infectious diseases. Recent […]

Distinct Genotype of Hantavirus Infection in Rodents in Jiangxi Province, China, in 2020–2021

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Hantavirus causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, thus posing a major threat to human health in Jiangxi Province, China. Both Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Seoul virus (SEOV) have been found to be endemic in the province. Rodents were trapped from Gaoan Anyi and Tonggu counties in Jiangxi […]

Evidence of the Efficacy and the Effectiveness of First Generation COVID-19 Vaccines in Clinical Trials and Real-world Studies

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal.  More than 300 COVID-19 vaccine candidates have been developed or are currently in development. COVID-19 vaccines on the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing and other COVID-19 vaccine products conditionally approved by national regulatory authorities are already in large-scale use, thus preventing severe illness or death and […]

Construction and Evaluation of the Brucella Double Gene Knock-out Vaccine Strain MB6 bp26wboA (RM6)

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Brucellosis is a serious zoonotic infection worldwide. To date, vaccination is the most effective measure against brucellosis. This study was aimed at obtaining a vaccine strain that has high protective efficacy and low toxicity, and allows vaccination to be differentiated from infection. Using homologous recombination, the authors […]
