Emerging viruses and current strategies for vaccine intervention 2019-04-16 .txt text/plain 5914 263 36 While classic approaches to vaccine development are still amenable to emerging viruses, the application of molecular techniques in virology has profoundly influenced our understanding of virus biology, and vaccination methods based on replicating, attenuated and nonā€replicating virus vector approaches have become useful vaccine platforms. Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) is licensed as a third-generation vaccinia type vaccine against smallpox and serves as a potent vector system for the development of new candidate vaccines against a range of infectious diseases, including those caused by emerging pathogens. Additionally, MVA elicits a strong immunological response against a range of other orthopoxviruses (OPXVs) (including Variola), and vaccines based on this platform can be considered as providing added value, as human immunity to OPXVs is low (after the cessation of the smallpox vaccination campaign) opening a gap for OPXV emergence, as evidenced by the recent occurrence of monkeypox virus in West Africa and onward cross boarder transmissions [39, 40] . ./cache/cord-297203-f3f31h4r.txt ./txt/cord-297203-f3f31h4r.txt
