Chlamydia vaccine?
July 22, 2016
CANADIAN researchers have
developed a “promising” vaccine
prototype to prevent chlamydia,
based on work with mice,
published in the journal Vaccine
and first reported by BBC News.
No vaccine
yet exists
against the
sexually
transmitted
disease, but
the McMaster University work in
Ontario, which gave mice two doses
of the prototype, delivered through
the nose, found the treated mice
had fewer replications of the
bacteria in their systems and less
damage to reproductive organs.
Scientists hope the vaccine will
also work against chlamydia eye
infections, a common cause of
blindness in the third world.
