Who says an Ebola vaccine has to be injected? Certainly not. Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston have discovered an inhalable vaccine that can protect rhesus macaque monkeys against severe illness and death when they were exposed to the Ebola virus. Rhesus Macaques are among the most widespread primates after humans and are the monkeys most widely used in biomedical research. Medics in full gear to avoid contracting the virus Findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that the linings of the airways may be an important point of entry for the Ebola virus into the body. Alexander Bukreyev, a professor of virology at the University said the study demonstrates successful aerosol vaccination against a viral hemorrhagic fever for the first time. http://www.levitoday..com/2015/07/inhalable-ebola-vaccine-discovered.html?m=1 |
