Whooping cough: increase in vaccine coverage, decrease in bacterial virulence
The whooping cough monitoring carried out in France has enabled Institut Pasteur and CNRS researchers to analyze Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium responsible for whooping cough. For the first time, among the strains in circulation, they have identified bacteria not expressing some of the virulence factors targeted by the vaccine, such as the bacterial toxin. These observations confirm the...

Lassa fever: promising results for a vaccine candidate in a Phase I clinical trial
The Lassa arenavirus causes hemorrhagic fever and is a major problem in many West African countries, claiming 5,000 to 6,000 lives every year. There is therefore an urgent need to develop treatments and prepare for potential outbreaks. An international study involving Institut Pasteur researchers has reported the results of Phase I clinical trial for a Lassa fever vaccine. Vaccine candidates...
