RNA replicon vaccination confers long-lasting protection against H5N1 avian influenza in 23 zoo bird species - Nature Communications
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses cause mass mortality in birds and have infected over 50 mammalian species, including humans. Here, the authors report the use of a propagation-defective vesicular stomatitis virus replicon vaccine in captive birds, which provides protection against lethal H5N1 challenge.

Quantifying the impact of a broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccine in a future SARS-X pandemic - Nature Communications
Broad-spectrum vaccines have been proposed as a tool for rapid response to emerging infectious disease threats and are in pre-clinical development. Here, the authors use mathematical modelling to assess the potential impacts of broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccines for a hypothetical “SARS-X” outbreak.
