There is no vaccine against the Zika virus. Efforts to make one have
just begun, and creating and testing a vaccine normally takes years
and costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
Because it is impossible to completely prevent mosquito bites, the C.D.C. has advised pregnant women to avoid going to regions where the virus is being transmitted, and has advised women thinking of becoming pregnant to consult doctors before going.
Scientists have edged closer to an effective Zika virus vaccine after demonstrating that three different formulations can protect monkeys from the disease.
EXPERTS have revealed a vaccine to protect against the Zika virus is a step closer after three different types of jabs were tested on primates.
NIAID research helps us learn more about Zika virus to help treat and ... NIAID is responding to the Zika virus crisis through vaccine.
All three of the vaccines were found to be safe and protected the
monkeys against infection with the virus, according to the report
published in Science. The urgency for a vaccine to protect against
Zika infection has intensified as the virus spreads rapidly across
Latin America and the Caribbean.
The West Nile virus, like most mosquito-borne viruses, is found in
wild birds. The disease caused by the virus was first described in
Africa in 1937, with outbreaks occurring later in Asia, Europe, and
the Middle East. The virus was first documented in North America in
1999.
