"Subunit Vaccines for Brucella Pathogens"
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Brucellosis can be a debilitating disease, requiring extended antibiotic treatment to clear the brucellae; yet, despite treatment, brucellae can still persist. Thus, studies focused on developing a subunit vaccine for brucellosis and validating the protective efficacy of this vaccine formulation in two susceptible animal hosts and against three species of Brucella. The overall goals of this work are to forward the studies for our vaccines and have many of the preclinical studies completed prior to testing in humans.
