EARA members Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have announced a vaccine collaboration to fight Covid-19 The vaccine is based on the existing knowledge of vaccine creation and production developed by Sanofi to make its flu vaccine. start clinical trials, after animal testing, in the second half of this year and, if successful, the vaccine

University, Belgium, have found that antibodies taken from just one llama (pictured) could help to combat Covid It takes a vaccination of a llama and a few technical steps to select antibodies with a desired specificity neutralize SARS-CoV-2 viruses, and that could be used as a drug for the prevention and treatment of COVID

Medical Sciences, Fudan University, China, and at the New York Blood Center, USA, gave the reminder that vaccines came as Moderna Therapeutics, a US biotechnology company, began the first human trials of a potential Covid -19 vaccine without testing for any immune response in animals. “Testing vaccines and medicines without taking the time to fully understand safety risks could bring

Two new studies using mice and hamsters are continuing in the effort to understand and deal with Covid Research on a nasal spray to fight Covid, using ferrets, llamas and mice has been covered previously "Our findings could potentially lead to new therapies for patients suffering from acute and long Covid

The EU has purchased 55,000 doses of a monoclonal antibody treatment for Covid-19, which significantly trials in hamsters and monkeys, showed that the cocktail was effective, and then clinical trials in Covid

A new vaccine, under development for mpox, could give better protection  against the virus than existing vaccines, a study in monkeys has shown. Currently, there is no vaccine specifically for mpox – the vaccines that have been used, such as MVA, company Moderna – which also developed a Covid-19 vaccine using the same technology – is more effective vaccine supplies that are urgently needed  for this current outbreak.

This increase was due to project authorisations for the evaluation of Covid-19 vaccines and treatments use in 2020, include many of the animals used in basic and pre-clinical research, as well as drug and vaccine testing to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic. stop using animals in biomedical research then significant progress in finding treatments for other vaccines -19 vaccine during the 2020-21 pandemic.

Researchers have highlighted the critical role that animals played in Covid-19 research in Germany. and rats) were used, with mice (90%) and hamsters (7%) being the most used in both basic research and vaccine mean that ‘experiments were performed elsewhere to expedite critical studies’, such as some BioNTech vaccine

US research, using mice and monkeys, could lead to a new vaccine to lower 'bad' cholesterol. Mexico (UNM) and the University of California, Davis, blocked PCSK9 with a non-infectious virus particle vaccine Further human trials are needed to confirm the vaccines effectiveness and safety, but the study – published in NPJ Vaccines - could lead to cheaper cholesterol treatments, a significant advance in global cardiovascular

Researchers in Estonia, using cows, have created a spray treatment that can help to prevent Covid-19 News Digest, scientists in the Netherlands and USA, created a nasal spray that stopped the spread of Covid

A US strategy for developing a vaccine for HIV, based on training the immune system, is providing hope Currently there is no vaccine that can prevent or treat HIV and the main challenge lies with the fact s genome mutates very rapidly, making it difficult to generate an immune response against it with a vaccine
