- 1B Delivery route
Naturally attenuated candidates
Research Question
- Develop safe live virus Influenza vaccines – without risk of reassortment.
- Amenable for mass vaccination – control
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Develop vaccines easy to administer that induce strong mucosal immunity able to block shedding, and prevent infection and transmission of LPAIV and HPAIV
- Regulatory issues regarding attenuated vaccine usage due to safety for public health (possible reversion of virulence)
- Risk of reversion to virulence and/or recombination
- Application may depend on target species swine, equine versus avian species
- Cost of vaccine for each species
Solution Routes
- Solution for blocking reversion of virulence and reassortment
State Of the Art
- No incentive for industry to invest in research on Al attenuated vaccines as current regulation do not allow its use
