Abstract

For many of the world?s most dangerous viruses, traditional vaccine technologies have failed to provide protections, especially against those with multiple strains or serotypes. The hemorrhagic fevers caused by the Ebola and Marburg viruses are among the most deadly diseases to affect humans, and are fatal in nearly 90% of those affected. The dengue fever viruses affect over 100 million people each year, with severe cases causing a hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome or death.
