Serum Institute, the world's largest vaccine manufacturing company, has given big news about dengue. The company's chairman, Cyrus Poonawalla, announced that the company will launch a dengue vaccine within a year. Poonawalla said, this new vaccine is very much needed in African countries and India, as millions of people are suffering from this disease every year.

The vaccine will come in a year

Cyrus Poonawalla said that within a year, we will develop dengue treatment and vaccine. The Serum Institute has been working on a dengue vaccine for a long time and has already conducted several related trials. Poonawal said that the dengue vaccine being developed would be effective against all four strains of the virus.

Why is it taking time to develop a vaccine?

In fact, due to the fact that there are four strains of this disease, it is taking time to develop a vaccine for it. If there was only one strain of the virus, it would be easier to develop a vaccine. A recent Serum Institute report concluded that a single dose of dengue vaccine in adults was safe and inexpensive. Continuous work is being done to make it more effective.

More than 10 crore cases every year

According to World Health Organization data, more than 10 million cases of dengue are reported worldwide every year, and a large number of patients are from countries in Africa and Asia. In India, there is an increase in dengue cases every rainy season.

Connection with an American company

The Pune-based Serum Institute has tied up with US-based biotechnology company Wistera for the technology used to develop the vaccine. Efforts will be made to bring the vaccine to the market as soon as possible after clinical trials are completed. Company sources said steps may be taken soon to bring the vaccine to the market. Efforts will also be made to get fast track approval from the drug regulator and other government departments for distribution of the drug in the country.

Know, what is community transmission in the corona virus epidemic?

Image
New Delhi, July 20, 2020, Monday Corona virus is becoming a true epidemic in India. Corona's transition cases were under control for more than 2.5 months when the country-wide lockdown took place, but Corona has been erupting since the lockdown was gradually unlocked. With an average of more than 20,000 cases a day coming to the country in the last one week, given the way Corona has picked up speed, it is only natural to be concerned that community transmission is not happening. It is important to understand what this community transmission is. The transition becomes almost uncontrollable when community transmission occurs in this third stage of the Corona epidemic.

In the first stage of transmission of the virus, people infected with Corona virus have come from other countries and they are also c...

- Scientists succeed in turning A blood group into a universal donor with the help of enzymes in the gut New delhi date. Thursday, April 8, 2021 The O blood group is no longer the only universal donor in the world. Canadian scientists have also made blood group A a universal donor using a special type of bacterial enzyme.
