Research paper thumbnail of Initial assessment of impact of adenovirus type 4 and type 7 vaccine on febrile respiratory illness and virus transmission in military basic trainees, March 2012

Subsequently, rates of febrile respiratory illnesses (FRI) and adenovirus isolations markedly declined. These findings are consistent with those of a placebo-controlled efficacy trial conducted prior to the vaccine's licensure by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Continued surveillance will clarify the longer term impact of vaccine use.

To assess whether transmission of hepatitis A among Thai children had declined, contemporary antibody prevalence and seroconversion rates were determined. Antibody prevalence in 1987-1988 among children in Bangkok declined since 1977 for all ages studied, most markedly among young children. Among 453 low-income urban schoolchildren, there were

Health care workers may be unfamiliar with the risk factors, transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. A team of highly trained specialists is required to properly manage service members with leishmaniasis. Such care is available only in a few medical centers. Although there are no prophylactic drugs to prevent this disease, control of insect populations and use of personal protection measures can minimize arthropod-related casualties. The impact of leishmaniasis on military operations and research initiatives to better prevent, diagnose, and treat infection are discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Immunogenic and protective response in mice immunized with a purified, inactivated, Dengue-2 virus vaccine prototype made in fetal rhesus lung cells

Dengue-2 virus strain 16681 was used for producing a monotypic PIV. Virus adapted to fetal rhesus lung (FRhL-2) cells was harvested from roller bottle culture supernatant fluids, concentrated, and purified on sucrose gradients. Analysis of purified virus preparations by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting showed primarily envelope (E) and premembrane (prM) antigens. These preparations had a purity, estimated from silver-stained gels, of approximately 70%, and a yield, based on recovery of virus and viral antigen, of 10-20%. The purified virus was inactivated with 0.05% formalin at 22 degrees C, or alternatively, with 7 mRads from a 60Co source. Vaccinated mice developed high titers of anti-DEN-2 virus neutralizing antibody and were partially protected from virus challenge. These results warrant further testing and development of PIVs f...

Once group of veterinary students received four doses of DEV, a second group received four doses of WRV, and a third group received two doses of WRV. Adverse reactions were found to be similar for all three gorups. The antibody responses, however, differed markedly: the mean neutralizing titer after four doses of DEV was 1:75, after four doses of WRV was 1:1517, but was only 1:164 after two doses of WRV. All students who received three or four doses of WRV developed high titers of rabies antibody, making this vaccine very desirable for preexposure prophylaxis.

Research paper thumbnail of Dengue Virus-Specific Memory T Cell Responses in Human Volunteers Receiving a Live Attenuated Dengue Virus Type 2 Candidate Vaccine

The dengue virus-specific memory T cell responses were analyzed as part of this study. Dengue virus-specific T cell proliferative responses were observed in all subjects after stimulating their peripheral blood mononuclear cells with live viruses or noninfectious viral antigens. The highest proliferative response was against dengue virus type 2, although cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses was detected to a lesser degree in some subjects. Dengue virus type 2-specific CD4+ and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes were generated in all vaccinees. This study investigated whether the candidate vaccine was efficacious in inducing dengue virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell memory after a single immunization in nonimmune recipients.

Research paper thumbnail of Quantitative Relationship Between Oral Temperature and Severity of Illness Following Inoculation with Candidate Attenuated Dengue Virus Vaccines

In subjects who developed clinical illness, the peak illness temperature, mean illness temperature, and peak 6:00 A.M. illness temperature all correlated positively with the total number of signs and symptoms other than fever and with a fall in the white blood cell count (the latter was the only laboratory abnormality significantly associated with clinical illness [P = .02]). Of these factors, the peak 6:00 A.M. oral temperature exhibited the strongest correlations with the two parameters used to estimate severity of illness (rxy = .58 and P < .01 for signs and symptoms; rxy = .37 and P = .01 for fall in white blood cell count).

By immune electron microscopy (IEM), all six owl monkeys were shown to have serologic responses manifested by unusually high levels of anti-HEV at 6 months, but only three developed hepatitis. Virus-related antigen in liver (HEV Ag) was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy of biopsies from two of four owl monkeys; one with HEV Ag also had HEV in acute-phase bile (detected by IEM) and feces (detected by infecting another owl monkey). In contrast, cynomolgus monkeys propagated HEV to higher levels and all five had hepatitis. Moderate-to-high levels of HEV Ag correlated with detectable HEV in bile for both species. Thus, the value of using HEV-infected cynomolgus was confirmed. Owl monkeys were shown to be HEV-susceptible and sources of high-level anti-HEV; Sustained anti-HEV in these monkeys may also be useful for understanding immune responses.

Two recipients received 10(3) plaque forming units (PFU)/dose (1:100 dilution of stock vaccine). One remained asymptomatic, but became viremic between days 12 and 15, experienced a mild elevation of temperature (37.4 degrees C), and developed DEN-4 specific antibody. Neither recipient of the 10(4) PFU became infected. Eight volunteers then received undiluted vaccine (10(5) PFU). Viremia and antibody (neutralizing, hemagglutination inhibition, and IgM) developed in 5 of the 8 (63%). These 5 volunteers also developed a scarcely noticeable macular, blanching rash and minimal temperature elevations (37.3, 38.1, 37, 37.9, and 37.9 degrees C). Clinically insignificant decreases in total white blood cell, lymphocyte, and polymorphonuclear cell counts and an elevation in mo...

These purified proteins maintain their reactivity with monoclonal antibodies. When tested in mice, the envelope protein elicited neutralizing antibodies and partially protected the animals against a lethal viral challenge. The mice responded to the non-structural protein by producing antibodies; however, these antibodies were not neutralizing and the mice were not protected.

Genomic JEV RNA is approximately 11 kb long and encodes 10 proteins, 3 structural and 7 nonstructural. A full-length cDNA copy of the JEV genome was constructed by in vitro ligation of two cDNA fragments which encode the 5' (nucleotide positions 1 to 5576) and 3' (nucleotide positions 5577 to 10976) halves of the genome. T7 RNA polymerase transcripts of the ligated full-length cDNA template were infectious when transfected into BHK-21 cells. To identify the recombinant virus, a silent mutation was introduced into the clone encoding the 3' half of the genome, which abolished an XbaI site at nucleotide position 9131. Virus recovered by transfection with the transcripts contained this silent mutation, confirming its identity. Recombinant and parent viruses were identical with respect to growth and plaque production in BHK-21 cells, envelope protein expressio...
