The Marburg virus (MARV), belonging to the family, poses a significant global health threat, emphasizing the urgency to develop Marburg virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines for outbreak mitigation. The virus's menacing traits accentuate the need for such vaccines, which can be addressed by VLPs that mimic its structure safely, potentially overcoming past limitations. Early Marburg vaccine endeavors and their challenges are examined in the historical perspectives section, followed by an exploration of VLPs as transformative tools, capable of eliciting immune responses without conventional risks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the antibacterial effects and antioxidant properties of extracts from the root bark, leaves, and pericarp of a specific plant, utilizing various solvents for extraction.
  • Results indicated that the methanol extract of root bark demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria, while the aqueous pericarp extract showed the lowest minimum bactericidal concentration among tested extracts.
  • Additionally, the extracts were found to contain significant levels of total flavonoids, polyphenols, and carbohydrates, with the methanol extract exhibiting the highest antioxidant activity.

While there is absolutely no evidence to ensure recovered patients are either likely or unlikely to get reinfected. But studies in non-human primates indicate that reinfection of recovered patients is highly unlikely. It is also clear that primary immune responses or induced immunity to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 remain in circulation for several months and at least temporarily confer immunity to protect from reinfection.
