Vaccines against Lassa virus diseases
Basic Information
Vaccines have contributed enormously to the successful control and elimination of many diseases, but few vaccines have so far been developed for the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases. Lassa virus (LASV) has been added to the WHO R&D Blueprint list of diseases for which there is an urgent need for accelerated research and development, considering the disease’s potential to cause a public health emergency, and given the absence of efficacious drugs and/or vaccines. In the coming years, several candidate vaccines against LASV will enter clinical development and there is an urgent need to fast track their development. The aim is to facilitate the development of promising vaccines and the preparation of investigational sites in affected countries to be ready to perform proof of concept and/or pivotal efficacy trials.
