Why developing a coronavirus vaccine is so difficult - The Hill Why developing a coronavirus vaccine is so difficult - The Hill Posted: 11 Feb 2020 12:00 AM PST The coronavirus situation is serious in China. With the number of deaths at 812 as of Feb. 9, surpassing those from SARS (774 deaths), experts are looking for a treatment and a vaccine for the new virus. Several companies claim to be working on antivirals or vaccines for the new Wuhan coronavirus. But what is that process actually like and how long would it take? Viruses mutate at fast rates The genetic material for viruses is ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA exists in a single strand, unlike DNA which is double stranded. Having only a single strand makes it easier for RNA to get cut up and remixed because only one connection needs to be broken. This means viruses can mutate really quickly, which could potentially make any cure or vaccine obsolete over time. For viruses that are no ...

Global Polio Surveillance Status Report 2019 - World - ReliefWeb Global Polio Surveillance Status Report 2019 - World - ReliefWeb Posted: 28 Feb 2020 04:00 PM PST 1 Introduction 1.1 Global epidemiology update Global efforts to eradicate polio began in 1988 and, to date, four of the six World Health Organization (WHO) regions have achieved polio-free certification. Within the remaining two regions with endemic poliomyelitis (African and Eastern Mediterranean), Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan have experienced uninterrupted transmission of wild poliovirus (WPV). Fig. 1–2 show the distribution of WPV and circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) cases in 2016–2018. While Afghanistan and Pakistan continuously reported cases in all three years, a WPV case was last reported in Nigeria in August 2016. From 2016 to 2018, 17 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) post-switch outbreaks of all three serotypes (occurring after the swit...
