Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are global pathogens circulating endemically with local explosive outbreaks and constant encroachment into new locations. Few vaccines against arboviruses exist; most for humans are in development or clinical trials. Insect-specific viruses (ISVs) offer a unique platform for expression of arbovirus proteins, through the creation of ISV/arbovirus chimeras. Studies have shown promising results of these vaccines with several advantages over their wild-type counterparts. In this review, we discuss the current status of these potential vaccines using ISVs.
节肢动物传播病毒(虫媒病毒)是全球性病原体,在地方流行,时有局部爆发,并不断侵入新地区。针对虫媒病毒的疫苗很少;大多数针对人类的疫苗正在研发或处于临床试验阶段。昆虫特异性病毒(ISV)通过构建ISV/虫媒病毒嵌合体,为表达虫媒病毒蛋白提供了一个独特的平台。研究表明,这些疫苗取得了令人鼓舞的成果,与野生型对应疫苗相比具有若干优势。在本综述中,我们讨论了使用ISV的这些潜在疫苗的现状。
