Moderna avança em vacina contra hantavírus após mortes em navio de cruzeiro

A Moderna confirmou que continua trabalhando em uma vacina de mRNA contra o hantavírus após um surto fatal em um navio de cruzeiro holandês. O projeto, desenvolvido em parceria com a Universidade da Coreia, começou em 2023 e mostra resultados promissores, mas ainda faltam anos para ser concluído.

A empresa farmacêutica sediada nos EUA, Moderna, colabora desde 2023 com o Centro de Inovação em Vacinas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade da Coreia no desenvolvimento de uma vacina de mRNA contra o hantavírus. O projeto ganhou destaque após um surto atingir o MV Hondius, uma embarcação holandesa que partiu da Argentina e chegou às Ilhas Canárias em 10 de maio. Pelo menos três passageiros morreram e vários outros sofreram doenças graves durante o incidente.
