Immunization with a suicidal DNA vaccine expressing the E glycoprotein protects ducklings against duck Tembusu virus
Abstract Backgroud Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), a pathogenic flavivirus, emerged in China since 2010 and causing huge economic loss in the Chinese poultry industry. Although several vaccines have been reported to control DTMUV disease, few effective vaccines are available and new outbreaks were conti...

Conclusions In conclusion, we demonstrate that this suicidal DNA vaccine is a promising candidate facilitating the prevention of DTMUV infection.http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12985-018-1053-0Suicidal DNA vaccineDuck tembusu virusE glycoproteinDucklings |
