Filter by:Zoonosis including brucellosis and rickettsial infections are a major contributor to infectious morbidity in southern Israel. The Bedouins, a nomadic tribal population residing in the Negev area are notably exposed to domesticated animals including livestock, camels and companion animals, and their living conditions, especially with respect to poor sanitation in different Bedouin communities also expose them to rodents and disease vectors such as insects and arthropods. In this study, we aim to identify Bedouin patients arriving at the Soroka University Medical Center, a tertiary hospital un the Negev, with undifferentiated fever, suspected as a zoonosis. We intend to use molecular methods to better diagnose the infectious agent using whole blood and serum samples, and when available other tissues or body fluid, and use next generation sequencing technology to deeply examine bacterial features such as virulence factors, and host pathogen interactions.
The Phase I bridging clinical trial is to evaluate on the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and ADA of a single intramuscular injection of recombinant anti-rabies human monoclonal antibody injection (SYN023) alone or combined with rabies vaccine in healthy subjects. The study primary purpose was to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) between U.S and China subjects, therefore to lay a foundation for the follow-up clinical trials. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the PK, PD, Safety and ADA of SYN023 in Chinese Healthy subjects and compare with that of U.S. subjects.
This study will evaluate the overlap between the intestinal microbiome and virome of wild and domesticated animals and human beings living in close proximity in three sites along an ecotone (ecological gradient) in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
