As the Covid-19 pandemic surged in 2020, the world turned its focus to the hope of a vaccine. And while some question how Covid-19 vaccines managed to be developed so quickly, when other vaccines All of the successful Covid-19 vaccine candidates that are in the process of being approved across Europe For the first time with Covid-19, a new vaccine technology has been used. Testing the leading Covid-19 vaccines The recently approved US/German Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine underwent

Researchers have developed a vaccine that protects monkeys against a disease caused by an Ebola-like the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has now developed an experimental SUDV vaccine based on the licensed vaccine against Ebola. the monkeys showed any signs of the disease, nor did the animals experience any side effects from the vaccine

UK scientists have discovered a way to boost the effectiveness of vaccines for chronic viral infections When a vaccine is given, T cells are produced as a mechanism of response, however the researchers discovered that the effectiveness of most vaccines drops as these T cells are suppressed by a protein called PD-L1 Following the vaccination of mice suffering from hepatitis B, the team used an anti-PD-L-1 antibody, "Our findings delineate an immunotherapeutic combination that can boost the response to therapeutic vaccination

Testing leading vaccine and drug candidates Before treatments to either prevent or treat Covid-19 are This may be particularly the case with a Covid-19 vaccination as experience with SARS, a similar coronavirus Rhesus macaques have also been used in safety and efficacy testing of Sinovac’s PicOVacc Covid-19 vaccine Fort Detrick - Preclinical vaccine testing. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Israel- DNA vaccine protection against Covid-19 in rhesus macaques

Wereldwijde toezichthouders hebben de resultaten van een workshop over de ontwikkeling van COVID-19-vaccins tegen COVID-19 de ziekte zouden kunnen versterken. -19-vaccin voor mensen. De voordelen zijn vrij duidelijk: levens redden door zo snel mogelijk over een vaccin tegen COVID-19 Onderzoek wijst uit dat er bij vaccins tegen coronavirussen een risico bestaat tot zogenaamd ‘vaccin

The MEPs called for a shift away from the use of animal models in Covid-19 research. rebuttal, sent to the Commissioners and the EMA, EARA stressed the importance of animal models in Covid Both the Commission and the EMA replies to the MEPs outlined that they were tackling Covid-19 with scientific

Scientists have developed an effective vaccine against malaria, using the mRNA technology first seen in the successful Covid-19 vaccines. The vaccine uses mRNA to teach the human body how to make a small portion of the parasite that causes results published by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, USA, the team showed that mice given the vaccine

The findings in Nature Medicine, show the virus that causes Covid-19 might infect the intestinal tract

Scientists at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, USA, have identified a new way to deliver a vaccine researchers using mice and monkeys, developed an aerosol system using small particles which deliver the vaccine The team hope that the inhalation delivery method could be especially relevant for vaccination against diseases which affect the lungs, such as Covid-19, as it ensures the vaccine reaches the relevant organ “This translational strategy potentially enables more effective delivery of therapeutics or vaccines

EARA has publicly challenged the false claims, about Covid-19 vaccine testing, made in the media by animal Joanna Lumley which asserted that human trials were sometimes conducted ahead of animal testing for Covid -19 vaccines. resulted in some testing on humans and animals being conducted at the same time, such as with the Moderna vaccine -19 vaccine development – other fact-checking pieces also confirmed the stories were fake, see Reuters

EARA members, from Denmark and France, have demonstrated how minipigs can help develop and test new vaccines explained how the minipig provides a good model for studying the long-term effects of the pertussis vaccine Minipigs were vaccinated at a similar schedule to humans, and the immune cells and antibodies produced Asked about the potential of using minipigs as an alternative to non-human primates in testing other vaccines

now needed, providing compelling stories about the success of animal research, such as in developing Covid vaccines, as well as the facts and figures about its benefits.
