Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) is an important pathogen causing infectious rhinotracheitis in felids, mainly infecting the upper respiratory tract and conjunctiva. Multiple vaccines are available to prevent FHV-1 infection, and the antibody levels are always used to evaluate their effectiveness. However, the cellular immunity response following immunization in cats remains unclear. This study investigated the immune responses (humoral and cellular) in cats immunized with the FHV-1 modified live virus vaccine. The results indicated that vaccination significantly reduced clinical signs, and antibody levels, including virus-neutralizing (VN) antibodies and immunoglobulin G (IgG), in the vaccine group were higher than those in the control groups. Additionally, the vaccine significantly increased cytokine secretion, indicating Th1-type cellular immune responses in cats. Moreover, cellular immune-related indicators, such as CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and interferon-gamma levels, were inversely correlated with clinical signs post-challenge by FHV-1 in vaccinated cats, highlighting its crucial role in protecting cats against FHV-1 infection. In summary, this study demonstrated the importance of cellular immune responses in protecting cats from FHV-1 infection after vaccination.

Introduction: Infants and young children typically have the highest age-related risk of invasive meningococcal disease. The immunogenicity and safety of a single primary dose and a booster of a meningococcal A/C/W/Y tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-TT; Nimenrix) in infants were evaluated.
Methods: In this phase 3b, open-label, single-arm study, healthy 3-month-old infants received a single Nimenrix dose followed by a booster at age 12 months (1 + 1 series).

Melatonin, renowned for regulating sleep-wake cycles, also exhibits notable anti-aging properties for the skin. Synthesized in the pineal gland and various tissues including the skin, melatonin's efficacy arises from its capacity to combat oxidative stress and shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV)-induced damage. Moreover, it curbs melanin production, thereby potentially ameliorating hyperpigmentation.

The co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 has led to co-infection events, primarily affecting children and older adults, who are at higher risk for severe disease. Although co-infection prevalence is relatively low, it is associated with worse outcomes compared to mono-infections. Previous studies have shown that the outcomes of co-infection depend on multiple factors, including viral interference, virus-host interaction and host response.
