MSD的合作夥伴與荷蘭大學的豬流行性腹瀉病毒疫苗
MSD動物衛生組織（在美國和加拿大稱為默克動物保健）宣布，它已與烏得勒支大學在荷蘭的一個研究協議，以對疫苗的豬流行性腹瀉病毒測試引線。
研究已經根據協議開始，這將持續12個月。“我們很高興能與烏得勒支大學的合作夥伴對我們的搜索的豬流行性腹瀉疫苗，”KJ瓦瑪博士，高級副總裁，研發，MSD動物健康說。“除了是世界上最負盛名的機構之一，烏得勒支大學擁有幾十年的獸醫意義的經驗研究 病毒，並有幾個線索一豬流行性腹瀉病毒疫苗的發展。” 豬流行性腹瀉病毒引起嚴重的腹瀉和嘔吐，可導致死亡率高達幼豬100％，而較舊的豬降低增長。該病毒最早是在歐洲發現於1971年，1982年開始流行於亞洲，並於2013年蔓延到了美國。“對豬流行性腹瀉病毒疫苗的開發已經阻礙了越來越多的病毒在細胞培養和，直到難 度非常近日，由於缺乏對其遺傳操作的工具，“彼得Rottier，博士，在病毒學教授，烏得勒支大學的說。“我們分享MSD動物健康的承諾，尋找一種疫苗，並相信這一合作夥伴關係將幫助我們加快發現過程。” 直到疫苗可用，Rottier博士說，嚴格的衛生習慣是防禦的第一和主線路。

MSD partners with Dutch University for PEDv vaccine
MSD Animal Health (known as Merck Animal Health in the USA and Canada) announced it has entered into a research agreement with Utrecht University in the Netherlands to test leads towards a vaccine for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus.
Research has already begun under the agreement, which will last 12 months. "We are pleased to partner with Utrecht University on our search for a PEDV vaccine," said Dr. KJ Varma, senior vice president, Research & Development, MSD Animal Health. "In addition to being one of the world's most prestigious institutions, Utrecht University has decades of experience researching viruses of veterinary significance, and has several leads for the development of a PEDV vaccine."
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus causes severe diarrhea and vomiting, which can lead to mortality as high as 100 percent in young pigs and reduced growth in older pigs. The virus was first identified in Europe in 1971, became endemic in Asia in 1982, and spread to the United States in 2013.
"Vaccine development on PEDV has been hampered by the difficulty of growing the virus in cell culture and, until very recently, by the lack of tools for its genetic manipulation," said Peter Rottier, Ph.D., Professor in Virology, Utrecht University. "We share MSD Animal Health's commitment to finding a vaccine and believe that this partnership will help us accelerate the discovery process."
Until a vaccine is available, Dr. Rottier says that strict sanitation practices are the first and primary line of defense.
