Vaccine World Summit 2020
Our Contribution
Viroclinics will shed light on the topic: The Ferret As An Animal Model To Study Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, Transmission And Countermeasures” on Day 2 of the conference [March 5th, at 09:40]. We will discuss the following topics:
- Demonstration of efficient transmission of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) fromimmunocompromised ferrets to both immunocompromised and immunocompetent ferrets.
- Research findings were collected by applying several assays including Sequencing, PCR, Virus Culture/Titration. Furthermore, histo pathological changes of respiratory tissues from donor and contact ferrets were demonstrated by standard and immunohistochemistry.
- A high transmission rate of HRSV was found and more …
We are looking forward to sharing our latest insights with you during the 10th Annual Vaccine World Summit.

Cerba Healthcare enters agreement to acquire Viroclinics-DDL expanding and transforming its offering in clinical trials
Cerba HealthCare, a leading global player in medical diagnosis, today announced it has reached agreement to acquire Viroclinics-DDL, a fast-growing global virology and immunology contract research organization (CRO), from Summit Partners.
Viroclinics-DDL and CEPI strengthen partnership with the production of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant for distribution in the CEPI COVID-19 Vaccine Testing Network
Today, Viroclinics-DDL, a global Contract Research Organization supporting clinical and preclinical studies for drug and vaccine development and CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, signed an agreement which allows Viroclinics-DDL to produce and distribute laboratory stocks of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant for use in CEPI’s centralised COVID-19 vaccine testing network. The produced Omicron SARS-COV-2 variant will be used for the performance of laboratory assays, assessing the neutralizing potential of COVID-19 vaccines against the new variant.
