ABSTRACT Yellow fever (YF) vaccines (17D-204 and 17DD) are well tolerated cause very low rates of severe adverse events (YEL-SAE), such as serious allergic reactions, neurotropic diseases (YEL-AND), viscerotropic (YEL-AVD). Viral host factors have been postulated to explain the basis YEL-SAE. However, mechanisms underlying occurrence YEL-SAE remain unknown. The present report provides a detailed immunological analysis 23-year-old female patient. patient developed suspected case YEL-AVD with...
Attenuated yellow fever (YF) virus 17D/17DD vaccines are the only available protection from YF infection, which remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality in tropical areas world. The attenuated vaccine, is used worldwide, generates both long-lasting neutralizing antibodies strong T-cell responses. However, on rare occasions, this vaccine has toxic side effects that can be fatal. This study presents design two non-viral DNA-based antigen formulations characterization their...
ABSTRACT All currently licensed yellow fever (YF) vaccines are propagated in chicken embryos. Recent studies of chick cell-derived measles and mumps show evidence two types retrovirus particles, the endogenous avian (EAV) leukosis virus (ALV-E), which originate from embryonic fibroblast substrates. In this study, we investigated substrate-derived contamination YF produced by three manufacturers (YF-vax [Connaught Laboratories], Stamaril [Aventis], YF-FIOCRUZ [FIOCRUZ-Bio-Manguinhos])....
The smallpox worldwide eradication was the major world public health achievement. binomial - vaccines and immunization continues to demonstrate very high performance in prevention control of other diseases preventable by vaccination. new global initiatives on vaccination, such as GAVI, have made possible introduction important preventing million children deaths poorest countries world. National Immunization Program Brazil is also being strengthened, with several into basic calendar...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the reactogenicity of three yellow fever (YF) vaccines from WHO-17D and Brazilian 17DD substrains (different seed-lots) placebo. METHODS: The study involved 1,087 adults eligible for YF vaccine in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Vaccines produced by Bio-Manguinhos, Fiocruz (Rio Brazil) were administered ("day 0") following standardized procedures adapted to allow blinding blocked randomization participants coded types. Adverse events after immunization ascertained an interview...
Age-related seroprevalence studies that have been conducted in Brazil indicated a transition from high to medium endemicity of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection the population. However, most these focused on urban populations experience lower incidence rates HAV infection. In current study, prevalence anti-HAV antibodies was investigated children with low socioeconomic status (SES) live periphery three capital cities Brazil. total 1,162 dried blood spot samples were collected individuals...
The Yellow Fever (YF) vaccination is recommended for people living in endemic areas and represents the most effective strategy to reduce risk of infection. Previous studies have warned that booster regimens should be considered guarantee long-term persistence 17DD-YF-specific memory components adults with YF-virus circulation. Considering lower seroconversion rates observed children (9-12 month age) as compared adults, this study was designed order access duration immunity single-dose...
Yellow fever (YF) is an acute infectious disease caused by the yellow virus which transmitted mosquitoes. Neotropical primates are susceptible to infection, often presented as epizootic outbreaks. The aim was evaluate and characterize immune response against YF in different species of neotropical from Belo Horizonte Zoo. Vaccine 17DD administered 24 primates, with a single subcutaneous dose. Clinical exams, RNAemia, detection IgG neutralizing antibodies YFV were performed. In addition,...
Summary This work studied the replication sites of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in cynomolgus monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ) after intravenous inoculation. The were inoculated with Brazilian strain (HAF‐203). Monkeys euthanized on days 15, 30, 45 and 60 postinoculation (pi). Liver samples, submandibular salivary gland, mesenteric lymph node tonsils removed for virological pathological evaluation.
