Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating or preventing diseases caused by Porcine circoviruses. The invention particularly discloses methods for controlling PCV infection or disease in a pig herd, comprising (i) vaccinating sows against PCV at weaning, and (ii) vaccinating piglets against PCV at an age of between 2 to 7 weeks.
Abstract: A pDNA-based vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 and methods for preventing or treating COVID-19 using it. The pDNA-vaccine encodes an immunogenic portion of SARS-CoV S1 protein, such as that encoded by SEQ ID NO: 1 or a fragment thereof, and may be conveniently administered intramuscularly without the need for electroporation or use of a gene gun.
Abstract: Provided herein are details on the construction of a recombinant African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) live attenuated vaccine for prevention of ASF caused by various strains of ASFV, such as the highly virulent Georgia 2007 isolate (“ASFV-G”). An exemplary vaccine comprises the ASFV-G?A137R modified virus, a recombinant ASFV-G modified by deleting a portion of the A137R ORF rendering the A137R gene nonfunctional.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a polypeptide comprising, or consisting of, the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 9 or a sequence having at least 97%-100% sequence identity to one of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 9 for use as an immunogen for the purpose of eliciting an immune response in a subject susceptible to infection with a coronavirus. The disclosed polypeptide is further useful in reducing the severity of symptoms associated with a coronavirus infection. In addition to use in a protein-based vaccine, the polypeptide of the disclosure can be encoded by a nucleic acid/ribonucleic acid and used in a nucleic acid vaccine or viral vector vaccine.
