(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-17)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the major swine pathogens causing reproductive failure in sows. Although modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines are available, ...
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRSV2) Viral Diversity within a Farrow-to-Wean Farm Cohort Study
(MDPI, 2023-08-30)
Describing PRRSV whole-genome viral diversity data over time within the host and withinfarm is crucial for a better understanding of viral evolution and its implications. A cohort study was
conducted ...

Novel Spike-stabilized trimers with improved production protect K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters from the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant
(Frontiers Media, 2023-12-04)
Most COVID-19 vaccines are based on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein (S) or
their subunits. However, S shows some structural instability that limits its
immunogenicity and production, hampering the ...
