DNA vaccine shows promising, long-term results against Ebola virus

Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A synthetic DNA vaccine is showing immediate and long-term promising results against the Ebola virus in preclinical animal research. Scientists at The Wistar Institute Vaccine and Immunotherapy Centers designed optimized synthetic DNA vaccine candidates that target a virus surface protein called glycoprotein. The findings were published Wednesday in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. The Zaire Ebolavirus infection causes a severe hemorrhagic fever with a 50 percent fatality rate. Ebola, which is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission, first appeared in 1976 in what is now, Nzara, South Sudan, and in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. "Synthetic non-viral based DNA technology allows for rapid vac...

Moonves, one of America's highest-paid CEOs, stepped down hours later — but still with hope of an eventual payout from his former employer.

Study shows health, reaction-time declines in firefighters

Health

Randy Brooks' son had a request three years ago: What could his dad do to make wildland firefighting safer?
