Article Synopsis
- New variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are showing up quickly because of changes in their genes, especially in a part called the spike protein, which helps the virus escape our immune system.
- So far, the vaccines we've been using to protect against COVID-19, like Bimervax®, are still helping keep people safe from new strains, especially from those that cause milder sickness.
- Scientists are studying how well Bimervax® can boost our immune responses against different versions of the virus, showing that it works against both serious and less serious variants.

African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease with a high impact on the pork industry worldwide. ASF virus (ASFV) is a very complex pathogen, the sole member of the family , which induces a state of immune suppression in the host through infection of myeloid cells and apoptosis of lymphocytes. Moreover, haemorrhages are the other main pathogenic effect of ASFV infection in pigs, related to the infection of endothelial cells, as well as the activation and structural changes of this cell population by proinflammatory cytokine upregulation within bystander monocytes and macrophages.
