Several promising vaccines and medications are under development, although all are still years from availability, said Dr. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

But scientists say they are beginning to close in on ways to stop the virus. Several promising vaccines and medications are under development, although all are still years from availability, said Dr. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

As of late last week, the number of suspected cases in Guinea had swelled to 158, with 101 Canada Goose Outlet deaths, according to the World Health Organization. There are 25 reported cases in nearby Liberia, including 12 deaths.

Ebola’s average death rate is about 70 percent, but can range between 20 percent and 90 percent depending on the strain, Fauci said.

Canada Goose Online The most promising efforts to develop an Ebola vaccine involve genetic splicing, Fauci said. In this lineof research, NIAID investigators and several pharmaceutical firms are pursuing separate research that would insert part of Ebola’s genetics into an existing vaccine ready virus.

cheap canada goose uk Instead of delivering a Canada Goose Parka payload of illness, these modified, harmless viruses would deliver a nonthreatening piece of Ebola’s genetics in hopes of triggering an immune response that would create antibodies to protect against future Ebola infection. cheap canada goose uk

“You take another virus and you take the particular gene of the Ebola virus for which you want to prompt immunity, and you insert that gene into the virus,” Fauci explained.

canada goose coats on sale Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia are spearheading another research effort along canada goose coats on sale similar lines. They have produced an canada goose black friday sale Ebola vaccine that piggybacks on the established rabies virus vaccine, and the new combination has successfully immunized mice and primates in lab tests against both rabies and Ebola. canada goose coats on sale

canada goose clearance sale “I think we’ve demonstrated it is efficient in animal models, and now we have to produce a vaccine that would be appropriate for humans,” said Matthias Schnell, director of the Jefferson Vaccine Center. canada goose clearance sale

uk canada goose outlet This vaccine actually uses a surface protein taken from Ebola, rather than pieces of its genetic material, to create the immune response, Fauci said. uk canada goose outlet

canada goose All of these vaccines are nowhere near human trials, however, Schnell and Fauci said. The most advanced efforts are currently undergoing pre clinical evaluation, and are still years away from phase I trials that would determine whether the vaccines would be safe in humans and provoke the necessary immune response. National Institutes of Health] for five years to develop clinical material,” Schnell said. “Our first clinical trial can be performed in two to three years, hopefully.” canada goose

Also under development are therapies that could help people who have contracted Ebola or who are likely to come into contact with it.

These therapies mainly involve the creation in the lab of antibodies against Ebola. The antibodies called monoclonal antibodies are designed to specifically target the Ebola virus.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is preparing clinical studies in humans for a monoclonal antibody its researchers have developed, Fauci said. A private company, Mapp Biopharmaceutical of San Diego, also has shown encouraging results in primates using a cocktail of monoclonalantibodies. “They’re already looking at nonhuman primate studies to see if they can protect them,” Fauci said.

There’s one problem with all these medical research efforts, however: researchers likely will have to wait for a future Ebola outbreak to test any vaccine or treatment.

Canada Goose Outlet Ebola is a rare disease and its outbreaks are unpredictable, making widespread vaccination an unfeasible proposition, Fauci said. Canada Goose Outlet

Schnell believes that the combination rabies/Ebola vaccine his team is working on likely has the best chance to be disseminated prior to an outbreak.

canada goose factory sale “Rabies is a huge problem in Africa, so with a double Canada Goose Jackets vaccine you would have a strong reason to vaccinate,” he said. “But it’s not really easy to predict where Ebola will erupt, and where mass vaccinations will be needed.” canada goose factory sale

Canada Goose Jackets This time the Ebola outbreak hit a major city, Schnell said, which is a real concern that further emphasizes the need for a vaccine. Canada Goose Jackets

It also raises concerns that Ebola could spread to the United States or other countries via air travel, but canada goose clearance sale both Schnell and Fauci said that scenario is unlikely.

Unlike respiratory viruses, which spread via coughing, Ebola spreads “when people come into direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is in dire straits,” Fauci said. “It is not the kind of virus that is transmitted through casual contact with someone who is well.”

Canada Goose Parka That’s why family, doctors, morticians and clergy are more likely to come down with Ebola during an outbreak they are the ones tending to the ill. And it is unlikely that someone who is ill enough to be bleeding from their orifices will be able to make it onto an airplane, the experts said Canada Goose Parka.
