  • Pichia Pastoris (Komagataella Phaffii) As a Cost-Effective Tool for Vaccine
    bioengineering Review Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) as a Cost-Effective Tool for Vaccine Production for Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) Salomé de Sá Magalhães and Eli Keshavarz-Moore * Department of Biochemical Engineering, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Vaccination is of paramount importance to global health. With the advent of the more recent pandemics, the urgency to expand the range has become even more evident. However, the potential limited availability and affordability of vaccines to resource low- and middle-income countries has created a need for solutions that will ensure cost-effective vaccine production methods for these countries. Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) (also known as Komagataella phaffii) is one of the most promising candidates for expression of heterologous proteins in vaccines development. It combines the speed and ease of highly efficient prokaryotic platforms with some key capabilities of mammalian systems, potentially reducing manufacturing costs. This review will examine the latest developments in P. pastoris from cell engineering and design to industrial production systems with focus on vaccine development and with reference to specific key case studies.

It is a major socioeconomic and public health concern. It is estimated that 600 million people are chronically infected, with up to135,000 deaths annually [2]. Most infections occur in the Asian region (60-70million people in each), followed by Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa and Brazil (30-40 million people in each) [3]. The economic burden of chronic hookworm infection is estimated at 4.5 million DALYs annually [4] and is among the most important neglected tropical disease [5]. Southeast Asia (SEA) has a large percentage of populations living in rural and remote areas where hookworm infection is common [6]. These areas generally have poor sanitation and access to untreated water, which increase the opportunity of hookworm transmission and infection. Hookworm infection has been associated with impaired learning and decrease in productivity [7].

Human behaviors and household socioeconomic conditions that facilitate contact with contaminated soil may increase exposure to parasites. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the community-level variation in hookworm prevalence in the Kpandai district of Ghana.

  • Developing Vaccines to Combat Hookworm Infection and Intestinal Schistosomiasis
    REVIEWS Developing vaccines to combat hookworm infection and intestinal schistosomiasis Peter J. Hotez*, Jeffrey M. Bethony*‡, David J. Diemert*‡, Mark Pearson§ and Alex Loukas§ Abstract | Hookworm infection and schistosomiasis rank among the most important health problems in developing countries. Both cause anaemia and malnutrition, and schistosomiasis also results in substantial intestinal, liver and genitourinary pathology. In sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil, co-infections with the hookworm, Necator americanus, and the intestinal schistosome, Schistosoma mansoni, are common. The development of vaccines for these infections could substantially reduce the global disability associated with these helminthiases. New genomic, proteomic, immunological and X-ray crystallographic data have led to the discovery of several promising candidate vaccine antigens. Here, we describe recent progress in this field and the rationale for vaccine development. In terms of their global health impact on children and that combat hookworm and schistosomiasis, with an pregnant women, as well as on adults engaged in subsist- emphasis on disease caused by Necator americanus, the ence farming, human hookworm infection (known as major hookworm of humans, and Schistosoma mansoni, ‘hookworm’) and schistosomiasis are two of the most the primary cause of intestinal schistosomiasis. common and important human infections1,2.

  • Schistosomiasis Vaccine Development: Update on Human Clinical Trials Adebayo J
    Molehin Journal of Biomedical Science (2020) 27:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12929-020-0621-y REVIEW Open Access Schistosomiasis vaccine development: update on human clinical trials Adebayo J. Molehin1,2 Abstract Schistosomiasis causes significant levels of morbidity and mortality in many geographical regions of the world. The disease is caused by infections with parasitic blood flukes known as schistosomes. The control of schistosomiasis over the last several decades has been centered on the mass drug administration (MDA) of praziquantel (PZQ), which is the only drug currently available for treatment. Despite the concerted efforts of MDA programs, the prevalence and transmission of schistosomiasis has remained largely unchecked due to the fact that PZQ is ineffective against juvenile schistosomes, does not prevent re-infection and the emergence of PZQ-resistant parasites. In addition, other measures such as the water, sanitation and hygiene programs and snail intermediate hosts control have had little to no impact. These drawbacks indicate that the current control strategies are severely inadequate at interrupting transmission and therefore, implementation of other control strategies are required. Ideally, an efficient vaccine is what is needed for long term protection thereby eliminating the current efforts of repeated mass drug administration. However, the general consensus in the field is that the integration of a viable vaccine with MDA and other control measures offer the best chance of achieving the goal of schistosomiasis elimination.

Bethony4, David J. Diemert2,4* 1 School of Nursing, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2 Albert B. Sabin Vaccine Institute, Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, 3 Centro de Pesquisas Rene´ Rachou, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 4 Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine, The George Washington University, Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America Abstract Background: Obtaining informed consent for clinical trials is especially challenging when working in rural, resource-limited areas, where there are often high levels of illiteracy and lack of experience with clinical research. Such an area, a remote field site in the northeastern part of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is currently being prepared for clinical trials of experimental hookworm vaccines. This study was conducted to assess whether special educational tools can be developed to increase the knowledge and comprehension of potential clinical trial participants and thereby enable them to make truly informed decisions to participate in such research. Methodology/Principal Findings: An informational video was produced to explain the work of the research team and the first planned hookworm vaccine trial, using a pedagogical method based on analogies. Seventy-two adults living in a rural community of Minas Gerais were administered a structured questionnaire that assessed their knowledge of hookworm, of research and of the planned hookworm vaccine trial, as well as their attitudes and perceptions about the researchers and participation in future vaccine trials.
