Background/Objectives: Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is an emerging, widely distributed zoonotic tick-borne pathogen. The causes severe disease in humans, and numerous wild domestic animals act as reservoirs of it. Unfortunately, there are no effective therapies or safe vaccines commercialized nowadays for this particular virus. As CCHF (Crimean–Congo fever) a serious threat to public health, urgent need investigate the development vaccination strategies further. Methods: In work, we have employed two immunization platforms based on protein nanoparticles modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) viral vector using nucleoprotein (NP) target antigen. humoral cellular immune responses were characterized by ELISA, ICS, cytokine measurement. Results: This work shows that single dose vaccine candidates was not immunogenic heterologous MVA. A prime with NP (NS-NP) boost MVA-expressing capable triggering significant levels against CCHFV mice. Conclusions: Our study NS-NP/MVA-NP strategy effectively elicits robust response mouse model, emphasizing its potential protective approach lineages.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a lethal viral disease that has severe public health effects throughout Africa and case fatality rate of 10%-40%. CCHF virus was first discovered in Crimea 1944 since caused substantial burden Africa. The shortage diagnostic tools, ineffective tick control efforts, slow adoption preventive measures, cultural hurdles to education are among the problems associated with continued transmission. Progress preventing spread also hampered by dearth effective serodiagnostic testing for animals absence precise surveillance protocols.

Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, employed primarily for manufacturing monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant protein (r-protein) therapeutics, are emerging as a promising host vaccine antigen production. This is exemplified by the recently approved CHO cell-derived subunit vaccines (SUV) against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) varicella-zoster (VZV), well enveloped virus-like particle (eVLP) hepatitis B (HBV). Here, we summarize design, production, immunogenicity features of these review most recent progress CHO-derived in pre-clinical clinical development. We also discuss challenges associated with production focus on ensuring viral clearance eVLP products.

Background: Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic that poses significant threat to both livestock and human health has caused outbreaks in endemic regions. In humans, most patients experience febrile illness; however, some patients, RVF disease may result hemorrhagic fever, retinitis, or encephalitis. While several veterinary vaccines are being utilized countries, currently, there no licensed therapeutics for use. Neutralizing antibodies specifically targeting vulnerable pathogen epitopes promising candidates prophylactic therapeutic interventions. the case of RVFV, surface glycoproteins Gc Gn, which harbor neutralizing epitopes, represent primary targets vaccine antibody development. Methods: We report implementation advanced 10x Genomics technology, enabling high-throughput single-cell analysis identification rare potent against RVFV. Following immunization mice with live attenuated rMP-12-GFP successive Gc/Gn boosts, memory B cell populations (both general antigen-specific) were sorted from splenocytes by flow cytometry. Deep sequencing repertoire at resolution, together bioinformatic analyses, was applied BCR pair selection based on their abundance specificity. Results: Twenty-three recombinant monoclonal (mAbs) selected expressed, antigen-binding capacities characterized. About half them demonstrated specific binding cognate antigen relatively high affinities. Conclusions: These could be used future development efficacious therapeutics, as well studying virus-neutralizing mechanisms. The current study, approach implemented RVFV proteins demonstrates effective applicability this technique discovery purposes.

Bunyaviruses comprise 496 di:erent species (Chen et al., 2023) and the order Bunyavirales was recently promoted to Bunyaviricetes class reflecting expanding number of bunyaviruses being discovered (Kuhn 2024). These viruses infect a variety hosts from plants insects rodents humans. Many are transmitted humans via vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes sandflies for example. In addition, belonging spreading into new areas due globalization climate changes some on World Health Organizations list prioritized diseases (World Organization, 2025). Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), mostly by Hyalomma sp. is reported Southern Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East Asia, but now also found in France Spain (European Center Disease Control, The has been far north Sweden (Grandi al. 2020).

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are one of the greatest threats to human health today, thus requiring an urgent response. Vaccines most effective means preventing spread diseases, and their usefulness in responding EIDs has been clearly proven through process overcoming global COVID-19 pandemic. As characteristics various vaccine formulations differ, it is necessary apply appropriate according EID response strategy. In this review, we first consider which formulation suitable for vaccines by comparing pros cons different formulations, then discuss utility mRNA considered promising vaccines.

Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by Hemorrhagic virus (CCHFV), is listed in the World Health Organization’s list of priority diseases. The high fatality rate humans, widespread distribution CCHFV, and lack approved specific vaccines are primary concerns regarding this disease. We used microfluidic technology to optimize mRNA vaccine delivery system demonstrated that vaccination with nucleoside-modified CCHFV encoding GnNSmGc (vLMs), Gn (vLMn), or Gc (vLMc) induced different immune responses. found both T-cell B-cell responses vLMc were better than those vLMn. Interestingly, be lower for vLMs, which employed NSm link non-fusion expression, compared vLMc. In conclusion, our results indicated could a factor leads decreased host should avoided development antigens.
