Abstract

Nipah virus (NiV) continues to cause outbreaks of fatal human encephalitis due to spillover from its bat reservoir. We determined that a single dose of replication-defective vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-based vaccine vectors expressing either the NiV fusion (F) or attachment (G) glycoproteins protected hamsters from over 1000 times LD50 NiV challenge. This highly effective single-dose protection coupled with an enhanced safety profile makes these candidates ideal for potential use in livestock and humans.CC999999/Intramural CDC HHS/United StatesT32 AI007610/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/United StatesU54 AI057158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/United StatesU54-AI057158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/United States2015-01-01T00:00:00Z24184127PMC38748897469vault:2352
