    Insights

    This study evaluated a new Russian mumps-measles vaccine and the Priorix trivaccine. Both vaccines demonstrated low reactogenicity and high immunogenicity in infants, children, and adolescents.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Vaccinology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • The development of effective combination vaccines is crucial for public health.
    • Assessing vaccine safety and immunogenicity across different age groups is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a new Russian live-associated mumps-measles vaccine.
    • To assess the live trivaccine (measles-mumps-rubella) "Priorix" in various age cohorts.

    Main Methods:

    • Follow-up study involving 139 infants (12-18 months).
    • Follow-up study involving 122 children (6-7 years).
    • Follow-up study involving 129 adolescents (18-10 years).

    Main Results:

    • The new Russian mumps-measles vaccine showed low reactogenicity.
    • The Priorix trivaccine demonstrated high immunogenicity.
    • Both combined vaccines were well-tolerated and effective across all studied age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The evaluated combined vaccines are safe and effective for immunization.
    • These vaccines represent valuable tools for controlling measles, mumps, and rubella.
    • Further research can explore long-term efficacy and broader population studies.

    Poliomyelitis01:17

    Poliomyelitis

    Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...

    Vaccines01:21

    Vaccines

    Vaccines are among the most effective tools in preventive medicine, designed to prepare the immune system to recognize and combat infectious agents. By introducing antigens—substances that the immune system identifies as foreign—vaccines stimulate an adaptive immune response that leads to immunological memory. This immunological memory enables the body to mount a faster and more effective response upon future exposures to the actual pathogen.Vaccines can be categorized based on the type of...
    Viral Meningitis01:18

    Viral Meningitis

    Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
    Smallpox01:24

    Smallpox

    Smallpox is a severe contagious disease caused by the Variola major virus, a double-stranded DNA member of the Poxviridae family.Variola major transmission occurs primarily via inhalation of virus-laden droplets or direct contact with infectious scabs. The incubation period averages approximately seven days, although it may range from 7 to 17 days depending on the inoculum and host factors.Clinically, the prodromal phase is marked by an abrupt onset of high fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia.
    Chickenpox01:20

    Chickenpox

    Chickenpox is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions. The incubation period typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, during which the virus replicates and disseminates through sequential phases within the host. Although generally self-limiting in children,...
