Vaccine Detail

live attenuated Brucella ovis strain H38 delta wbkF delta wadC vaccine
Vaccine Information
  • Vaccine Name: live attenuated Brucella ovis strain H38 delta wbkF delta wadC vaccine
  • Target Pathogen: Brucella spp.
  • Target Disease: Brucellosis
  • Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0009609
  • Type: Live attenuated vaccine
  • Status: Research
  • Host Species for Licensed Use: Sheep
  • Host Species as Laboratory Animal Model: Mus musculus; Ovis aries (rams)
  • Antigen: wbkF deletion; wadB deletion; wadC deletion
  • Preparation: Live attenuated rough mutants with deletions in wbkF plus wadB or wadC genes; administered subcutaneously in mice. (Lopez et al, 2026)
  • Description: Mutants of H38ΔwbkF vaccine with additional deletions in wadB or wadC genes, altering sugars of the rough LPS core tetrasaccharide branch, were constructed to minimize serological interference. Efficacy: These core-defective mutants were over-attenuated and failed to protect mice against infection. Immune response: Not reported beyond attenuation and protection failure. (Lopez et al, 2026)
