Study reveals synthetic DNA vaccine approach successfully protects against Zika virus

A new research has indicated that a synthetic DNA vaccine approach has been able to successfully protect against infection, brain damage and death caused by the mosquito-borne Zika virus in-vivo. There are currently no licensed therapies or vaccines to protect against the Zika virus. In this preclinical study conducted by the Wistar Institute, all of the animal models were protected after vaccination followed by a challenge with the Zika virus. In addition, they were protected from degeneration in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal areas of the brain, while the other cohort showed the brain’s degeneration after Zika infection.
