University Of Oxford Launches Human Trials For Nipah Virus Vaccine.
Oxford researchers have commenced the first-ever human trials for a vaccine targeting the Nipah virus, a deadly disease with a 75% fatality rate, which affects several Asian countries, including India.
The Nipah virus is transmitted through contact with infected animals or by person-to-person close contact.
Currently, there are no approved vaccines or treatments for this disease, which the World Health Organization has identified as a priority for urgent research.
The vaccine trial, funded by CEPI, uses the same viral vector platform as the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and will ultimately aim to prevent local outbreaks and prepare for future pandemics.
