A VLP-based vaccine provides complete protection against Nipah virus challenge following multiple-dose or single-dose vaccination schedules in a hamster model

Nipah virus: Virus-like particles protect against major public health concern A vaccine candidate consisting of virus-like particles could offer the first effective prophylaxis against the deadly Nipah virus. Endemic to Malaysia, Bangladesh, and India, Nipah virus is contracted from infected fruit b...
