↓ cleavage residues indicate that the NDV isolates correspond to mesogenic/velogenic pathotypes.
Figure 2 Deduced amino acid sequence alignment of F gene sequences of NDV strains isolated from Ethiopia. Names of strains are shown on the left-hand side of the figure. Identification with the reference La Sota (genotype II) vaccine strains is indicated by dots. They indicate the cleavage site of the deduced aa sequence of the F gene. X indicates an ambiguous aa sequence.
Abbreviations: Eth, Ethiopia; Chk, chicken.
Genetic Distance
The Ethiopian NDV isolates have a within-group genetic distance of 10.16% and a between-group genetic distance of 25.1% (Table 2). These isolates are grouped for ease of presentation as published by authors: group1 (sequences characterized in this study from the central part of the country), group 2 from the central part of Ethiopia,

In this interview, he debunked various myths and misconceptions about the vaccines and tells why vaccines are God’s miracle to save humans. Chiamaka Ozulumba brings excerpts
As a scientist in the area of vaccines research and development, can you share your journey into the field of vaccinology?
Interestingly, before I became a researcher, which is like 18years down the line, I had worked before then for five years, marketing and distributing veterinary anti-infectives and vaccines to stockholders, what my job was then was the delivery of animal health product, including drug and vaccines to livestock owners, to animals both for domestic and pets. I had been someone that has marketed or someone that promotes and marke

The federal government has reiterated the need to have a home-grown COVID-19 vaccine for its over 200 million population, saying local production of the vaccine would save the country the cost of importation as well as make it easily accessible and affordable.
The Minister of state for Health, Dr Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora said that in order to achieve home-grown COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria, there is a need to support research institutes. He said this on Monday at the Nigeria institute of medical research (NIMR), Lagos during the commissioning of the next generation sequencing as well as a tour of the projects within the institute.
