Scientists develop novel vaccine for Lassa fever and rabies
A novel vaccine designed to protect people from both Lassa fever and rabies showed promise in preclinical testing, according to new research published in Nature Communications.
Clinical trial for Ebola vaccine developed at UW–Madison underway in Japan
“It’s very exciting to see this trial starting so quickly and we hope it’s successful,”
Ebola vaccine inches toward human clinical trials
A whole-virus vaccine to confront Ebola, the rare but often fatal hemorrhagic disease that periodically erupts in sub-Saharan Africa, may soon be one step closer to the clinic.
Mice in Vaccine Research
Mice are the most common species involved in vaccine research. Of course, a mouse is not a human, but researchers are very familiar with the mouse immune system, which allows them to study the strengths and weaknesses of infectious diseases in order to develop effective immunization strategies.

AIDS vaccine using engineered herpes virus works in monkeys
Rhesus macaques have long been considered the prime model for AIDS vaccine research – as well as for understanding a host of other global infectious viruses such as Ebola, Zika, Dengue and malaria – because these monkeys’ immune systems are analogous to humans.
Rabbit
Rabbits, instrumental in developing the rabies vaccine, paved the way for pets in households. Their anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans aids research in cancer, glaucoma, infections, diabetes, and emphysema.
