This presentation is about the relevance of vaccine as a public health tool against vaccine preventable diseases and the need to accelerate the development of vaccines against malaria and other diseases of global health importance in developing countries such as Nigeria.
Edible Vaccine involves introduction of selected desired genes into plant and then inducing these altered plants to manufacture the altered protein.
These types of vaccines are antigenic proteins that are genetically engineered into a consumable crop. The strategy is that the plant food product haves the protein witch is obtained from some disease causing pathogen. People eat the plant food, the food is digested

Edible vaccines hold great promise as a cost-effective, easy-to-administer, easy-to-store, fail-safe and socioculturally readily acceptable vaccine delivery system, especially for the poor developing countries. It involves introduction of selected desired genes into plants and then inducing these altered plants to manufacture the encoded proteins. Introduced as a concept about a decade ago, it has become a reality today. A variety of delivery systems have been developed. Initially thought to be useful only for preventing infectious diseases, it has also found application in prevention of autoimmune diseases, birth control, cancer therapy, etc. Edible vaccines are currently being developed for a number of human and animal diseases. There is growing acceptance of transgenic crops in both industrial and developing countries. Resistance to genetically modified foods may affect the future of edible vaccines. They have passed the major hurdles in the path of an emerging vaccine technology. Various technical obstacles, regulatory and non-scientific challenges, though all seem surmountable, need to be overcome. This review attempts to discuss the current status and future of this new preventive modality.
Anti-microbial resistance has become a world health issue today. Therefore it is imperative to know about the methods of acquiring resistance and ways to deal with the situation and prevent resistance.
Edible vaccines derived from plants as part of a plant molecular farming activities with the aim of producing cheap vaccines has been raised from years ago. Low cost production of these vaccines have been led to attention to them, especially in developing countries . In this power point, history, production, uses , creating systemic and mucosal immune responses, advantages and disadvantages, biosafety issues and, ultimately, the future prospects of this type of vaccine will be discussed.
A malaria vaccine is a vaccine that is used to prevent malaria. The only approved vaccine as of 2015 is RTS,S, known by the trade name Mosquirix. It requires four injections and has a relatively low efficacy.
Biopharmaceutical Research Evolves Against
Infectious Diseases with Nearly 400 Medicines
and Vaccines in Testing.
Throughout history, infectious diseases
have taken a devastating toll on the lives
and well-being of people around the
world. Caused when pathogens such
as bacteria or viruses enter a body and
multiply, infectious diseases were the
leading cause of death in the United
States until the 1920s. Today, vaccines
and infectious disease treatments have
proven to be effective treatments in
many cases, but infectious diseases still
pose a very serious threat to patients.

State-of-the-art vaccine technologies are transforming vaccine development, and solutions for fast and reliable production are needed.
The vaccine industry has undergone a revolution in technology resulting in a variety of novel therapeutic platforms that accelerate development and significantly reduce the duration for process optimization and scale-up. However, challenges in maintaining efficacy and improving process robustness remain. In this presentation, we present a comparison of these novel technologies, discuss key considerations for manufacturing and share selected case studies for platforms such as virus-like-particles, viral vectors, plasmid DNA, and mRNA platform.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• Benefits of platform technologies in vaccine development
• Key considerations when deciding between platforms
• Vaccine pipeline analysis and selected case studies

In this section of the coronavirus pandemic series, we discuss the need for an effective COVID-19 vaccine to return to full normalcy. The slides would give a brief overview on how our immune systems work, and how a vaccine would train our immune system to recognize and fight the infection. Current vaccine platform technologies will be compared, and upcoming candidates will be highlighted for newer-generation vaccines. We'll also discuss in-depth on factors involving vaccine manufacturing, hesitancy & acceptance, and contingencies. The market capitalization of pharma companies involved in the development of the coronavirus vaccine will also be compared.
Vaccines have been revolutionary for the prevention of infectious diseases. Despite worldwide immunization of children against the six devastating diseases, 20% of infants are still left un-immunized; responsible for approximately two million unnecessary deaths every year, especially in the remote and impoverished parts of the globe. This is because of the constraints on vaccine production, distribution and delivery. One hundred percent coverage is desirable, because un-immunized populations in remote areas can spread infections and epidemics in the immunized safe areas, which have comparatively low herd immunity. For some infectious diseases, immunizations either do not exist or they are unreliable or very expensive. Immunization through DNA vaccines is an alternative but is an expensive approach, with disappointing immune response. Hence the search is on for cost-effective, easy-to-administer, easy-to-store, fail-safe and socio-culturally readily acceptable vaccines and their delivery systems. As Hippocrates said, Let thy food be thy medicine, scientists suggest that plants and plant viruses can be genetically engineered to produce vaccines against diseases such as dental caries; and life-threatening infections like diarrhea, AIDS, etc (Lal et al., 2007)
vaccine train user immune system to create antibodies, just as it when it is exposed to a disease. However, because vaccine contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at the risk of complications.
vaccine is a biological preparation that improve immunity to a particular disease.
A vaccine typically contain an agent that resembles a disease causing microorganisms and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbes.
Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Vaccine Preventable diseases such as rotavirus diarrhea,
pneumonia and tuberculosis remain a major public health challenge
in Nigeria.
• Nigeria also bears significant burden of diseases in dire need of
vaccine for public health use such as HIV and malaria
• Involvement of the country in vaccine development programmes for
malaria, HIV etc is unacceptably poor.
• RTS, S, a pre-erythrocytic stage malaria vaccine is the only
