Animal rabies control has been frustrated by the existence of multiple wildlife reservoirs and the lack of efficacious oral vaccines. In this investigation, raccoons fed a vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein recombinant virus in a sponge bait developed rabies virus-neutralizing antibody (0.6-54.0 units) and resisted street rabies virus infection 28 and 205 days after feeding. Additional raccoons immunized by oral infusion with attenuated antigenic variants of rabies virus strains CVS-11 and ERA failed to develop rabies virus-neutralizing antibody. This work demonstrates the feasibility of a recombinant virus vaccine containing the rabies glycoprotein gene for immunization of raccoons, and possibly other wildlife, to obtain long-term protection against rabies.

In late 2023 an H5N1 lineage of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) began circulating in American dairy cattle Concerningly, high titres of virus were detected in cows' milk, raising the concern that milk could be a route of human infection. Cows' milk is typically pasteurised to render it safe for human consumption, but the effectiveness of pasteurisation on influenza viruses in milk was uncertain. To assess this, here we evaluate heat inactivation in milk for a panel of different influenza viruses.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), an avian coronavirus, member of the genus Gammacoronavirus, poses significant threats to poultry health, causing severe respiratory, reproductive, and renal infections. The genetic diversity of IBV, driven by mutations, recombination and deletions, has led to the emergence of numerous serotypes and genotypes, complicating both diagnosis and control measures. Rapid and accurate diagnostic tools are essential for effective disease management and minimizing economic losses.

Many vaccines have been produced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, an increasing number of vaccines have reached an expiration date without being used. Therefore, expired vaccines (EXVAX) based on virus-like particles (VLP) recombinant SARS-CoV2-S protein can be repurposed for biosensing application and provide a use, even though they are past their expiration date for vaccination.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) rank among the most frequently encountered swine enteric coronaviruses (SECoVs), leading to substantial economic losses to the swine industry. The availability of a rapid and highly sensitive detection method proves beneficial for the monitoring and surveillance of SECoVs. Based on the N genes of four distinct SECoVs, a novel detection method was developed in this study by combining recombinant enzyme polymerase isothermal amplification (RPA) with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated proteins (Cas) 12a.

Unlabelled: Coronaviruses have large, positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that challenge conventional strategies for mutagenesis. Yeast genetics has been used to manipulate large viral genomes, including those of herpesviruses and coronaviruses. This method, known as transformation-associated recombination (TAR), involves assembling complete viral genomes from dsDNA copies of viral genome fragments via homologous recombination in .
