Washington : Three different investigational Zika virus vaccine platforms have offered new hope against the deadly disease.The three approaches – an inactivated virus vaccine, a DNA-based vaccine, and an adenovirus vector-based vaccine – protected against infection, induced immune responses and produced no adverse side effects when tested in rhesus macaques challenged with the Zika virus, according to a recent study.Researchers first tested the inactivated Zika virus vaccine in 16 rhesus macaques, with eight receiving the experimental vaccine and eight receiving a placebo injection.

Three inactivated-virus, gene- and vector-based vaccines protected rhesus monkeys from a Zika challenge, a study yesterday in Science noted.The promising outcomes set the stage for trials involving human subjects."The explosion of the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil and in the Americas led the WHO [World Health Organization] to declare this to be a public health emergency of international concern on Feb 1 of this year," Dan H.
