Virus). Il permettrait une protection pre- et post-exposition. Plusieurs études menées par une équipe du NIAID,
CDC, FDA, et DoD ont montré qu’une simple dose du vaccin Profectus VesiculoVax Ebola/Marburg est
protectrice à 100% chez des primates non-humains infectés avec 1000 fois la dose létale des virus Ebola et
Marburg [31]. Un vaccin trivalent pour une protection contre tous les filovirus est en essais cliniques sur des
primates non-humains avec un soutien financier du NIAID. Le vaccin candidat est actuellement en phase
d’essais précliniques.
