Abstract: Disclosed is the attenuated Salmonella typhi vaccine Ty21a utilized as a vector for Shigella and/or enterotoxogenic E. coli genes stably integrated in the Ty21a chromosome. These genes include a heterologous Shigella sonnei O-antigen biosynthetic gene region that comprises the wzz gene and expresses Shigella sonnei form 1 O-antigen, as well as a heterologous acid resistance biosynthetic gene system comprising a YbaS gene, which enables increased stability of the Ty21a vector at pH 2.5 relative to Ty21a without the integrated acid resistance biosynthetic gene system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are transgenic Salmonella typhi Ty21a comprising a chromosome with one or more heterologous nucleic acid regions, wherein the heterologous nucleic acid regions encode one or more viral antigens and are integrated into the Salmonella typhi Ty21a chromosome, and wherein the transgenic Salmonella typhi Ty21a stably expresses the one or more viral antigens. Also disclosed herein are compositions and vaccines comprising the transgenic Salmonella typhi Ty21a. Also disclosed herein are methods of eliciting an immune response in a subject against a SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen and/or a Salmonella typhi antigen comprising administering one or more doses of the composition or the vaccine to the subject. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating, preventing or reducing the incidence of COVID-19 and/or typhoid fever in a subject comprising administering one or more doses of the composition or the vaccine to the subject.

Abstract: Malaria in humans is caused by infection with Plasmodium species parasites including P. vivax. The biology and immunobilogy of P. vivax is distinct from that of P. falciparum. Provided are unique synthetic polypeptides and DNA molecules which encode them. Each of these molecules correspond to regions of the circumsporozoite protein of P. vivax. Each molecule comprises sequences corresponding to several repeats of the central region of the Pv 210 variant fused to sequences corresponding to several repeats of the central region of the Pv 247 variant. Each molecule additionally comprises sequences corresponding to either the amino terminus, the carboxy terminus, or both the amino and carboxy termini of the PvCSP. Also provided are vaccines comprising these unique sequences and methods of using these vaccines and sequences to prevent and treat Pv malaria.
