Adapted Live SARS‐CoV‐2 Vaccine Elicits Rapid Mucosal Immunity, Protects From Disease, and Reduces Shedding of XBB.1.5

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
An attenuated live vaccine (OTS‐300) expressing the XBB.1.5 Spike provided rapid and complete protection against homologous challenge in the hamster model, accompanied by fast systemic and mucosal antibody responses and markedly reduced transmission compared with XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccination.

Assessing global pandemic risks from emerging infectious diseases and high containment laboratory leaks: A country‐level spatial network SIR model analysis

Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 4619-4643, December 2025.
Abstract Future pandemics could arise from several sources, notably, emerging infectious diseases (EID); and lab leaks from high containment biological laboratories (HCBL). Recent advances in infectious disease, information technology, and biotechnology provide building blocks to reduce pandemic risk if deployed intelligently.
