Article Synopsis
- Pregnant women and infants face higher risks from influenza, making vaccine effectiveness during pregnancy crucial for infant protection through maternal antibodies (matAbs).
- Research using a mouse model showed that certain influenza vaccines (live-attenuated and recombinant hemagglutinin) provided better immunity and protection for offspring compared to the trivalent split-inactivated vaccine.
- The timing of antibody transfer from vaccinated mothers (either before or after birth) influences the antibody profiles in their offspring, highlighting the importance of the chosen vaccine type and its administration during pregnancy.
The nitrogen cycle in the marine environment is strongly affected by ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota. In some marine settings, Thaumarchaeotes can comprise a large percentage of the prokaryotic population. To better understand the biogeographic patterns of Thaumarchaeotes, we sought to investigate differences in their abundance and phylogenetic diversity between geographically distinct basins.
