Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. view more (2008-02-04)
Virginia Tech virologist developing more potent vaccine technology
Virginia Tech virologist Chris Roberts' goal is to develop a platform for a flu vaccine that allows rapid modifications to meet new strains of flu. view more (2009-05-05)
Vaccine and drug research aimed at ticks and mosquitoes to prevent disease transmission
Most successful vaccines and drugs rely on protecting humans or animals by blocking certain bacteria from growing in their systems. But, a new theory actually hopes to take stopping infectious diseases such as West Nile virus and Malaria to the next level by disabling insects from transmitting these viruses. view more (2008-12-03)
Staph vaccine shows promise in mouse study
By combining four proteins of Staphylococcus aureus that individually generated the strongest immune response in mice, scientists have created a vaccine that significantly protects the animals from diverse strains of the bacterium that cause disease in humans. view more (2006-10-31)
Chronic HIV-1 infection frequently fails to protect against superinfection
Natural HIV-1 infection does not always elicit a protective immune response, according to a new study published November 16 in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-11-16)
Bug-Zapper: A dose of radiation may help knock out malaria
How are physicists helping an effort to eradicate malaria, the mosquito-borne disease that kills more than one million people every year" Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) used their expertise in radiation science to help a young company create weakened, harmless versions of the malaria-causing parasite. view more (2007-11-09)
Mecca Pilgrims A Priority For Meningococcal Vaccination
Muslims travelling to Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj religious festival are a high priority for enhanced meningococcal vaccination this year. Thirty-three cases and nine fatalities were reported in England and Wales, a similar number to that reported in 2000, despite the recommendation to use a different vaccine in 2001.

How do you make the perfect vaccine?
A big challenge in vaccine design is how to trigger a protective immune response with the safest possible vaccine. Research into how Salmonella bacteria cause infection is leading to safer, more effective, vaccines against typhoid and other diseases, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General... view more...

Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's
A vaccine created by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in mice without causing inflammation or significant side effects. view more (2008-05-20)
T cell-based HIV vaccine candidate demonstrates positive results
The question of whether or not to continue to pursue the development of T-cell-based HIV-1 vaccines has been a source of controversy following last year's widely publicized failure of the field's most promising candidate, a vaccine developed by Merck known as V520. view more (2008-11-10)
University to develop new TB vaccine
A research team at Aston University has been awarded EU funding of almost half a million euros to investigate one of the most pressing problems in medicine today -the need to develop new vaccinations against Tuberculosis (TB). TB is one of the biggest killers in the world, particularly in developing countries or poor areas, and antibiotic... view more... (2004-02-11)
Novel vaccine approach offers hope in fight against HIV
A research team may have broken the stubborn impasse that has frustrated the invention of an effective HIV vaccine, by using an approach that bypasses the usual path followed by vaccine developers. view more (2009-05-18)
Vi typhoid vaccine proves highly effective in young children
A new study has found that a currently available yet underused vaccine against typhoid fever is highly effective in young children and protects unvaccinated neighbors of vaccinees. view more (2009-07-23)
Progress made in HIV vaccine development
Researchers have successfully tested two candidate vaccines that may eventually be used together to confer immunity against HIV infection. Their findings are published in the December 15 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2006-11-13)
New study indicates smallpox vaccination effective for decades
Although naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated in 1977, there is concern that bioterrorists might obtain smallpox from a laboratory and release it into the population. view more (2008-12-01)
Study supports whooping cough booster shot for adolescents
Despite childhood vaccination rates at all-time highs, pertussis (whooping cough) has re-emerged over the past two decades, especially among adolescents, adults, and young infants. Because of this resurgence, federal health policymakers are considering a national booster vaccination program. view more (2005-06-06)
Smallpox vaccine alternative identified
University of California, Irvine infectious disease researchers have shown the effectiveness of a potential alternative to the existing smallpox vaccine that can replace the current biodefense stockpile for this lethal virus. view more (2008-01-08)
African cattle to be protected from killer disease
Millions of African families could be saved from destitution thanks to a much-needed vaccine that is being mass-produced in a drive to protect cattle against a deadly parasite. view more (2009-10-05)
Researchers report breakthrough against world's deadliest viruses
Scientists from the Public Health Agency of Canada-with assistance from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases-have developed vaccines against the Ebola and Marburg viruses that have been shown to be effective in non-human primates. view more (2005-06-06)
