Moderna utvecklar hantavirusvaccin efter dödsfall på kryssningsfartyg

Rapporterad av AI

Moderna bekräftar pågående arbete med ett mRNA-vaccin mot hantavirus efter ett dödligt utbrott på ett nederländskt kryssningsfartyg. Arbetet, som sker i partnerskap med Korea University, inleddes 2023 och visar lovande resultat, men det är fortfarande år från att vara färdigställt.

Det USA-baserade läkemedelsföretaget Moderna har sedan 2023 samarbetat med Vaccine Innovation Center vid Korea University College of Medicine kring ett mRNA-vaccin mot hantavirus. Projektet fick uppmärksamhet efter ett utbrott ombord på MV Hondius, ett nederländskt fartyg som avseglade från Argentina och anlände till Kanarieöarna den 10 maj. Minst tre passagerare avled och flera andra drabbades av allvarlig sjukdom under händelsen.
