InViragen's dengue vaccine was designed by collaborators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect against all four of the dengue viruses. The vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective in preclinical animal models.We have set up nonhuman primate animal models to test an experimental dengue vaccine for human clinical development.
