- Some Israeli researchers have announced a breakthrough in the development of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine
- The researchers from MIGAL said they had developed an effective vaccine against avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus which can be easily adapted to create COVID-19 vaccine
- The researchers said their goal is to produce the vaccine in the next 8-10 weeks and to achieve safety approval in 90 days
The end to the spread of coronavirus may be in
sight as some scientists in Isreal have announced a
significant breakthrough in the development of
COVID-19 vaccine in their four-year-old research. According to a statement published by the Migal
Galilee Research Institute (MIGAL) on its website on
Thursday, February 27, some of its researchers said
they had developed an effective vaccine against
avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). The researchers said they will soon create a human
vaccine against coronavirus (COVID-19), the viral
disease that is spreading across the world like a
raging wildfire with death tolls increasing at an
exponential rate. Legit.ng learns that IBV is a disease affecting animals and the vaccine they developed against it
has been proven in pre-clinical trials. The research which spanned four years was
funded by Israel’s Ministry of Science and
Technology in cooperation with Israel’s Ministry of
Agriculture, MIGAL. According to the researchers, the vaccine against
the animal disease which they have just created will
lead to the rapid creation of a vaccine against
coronavirus which is affecting humans. The researchers said they have now made required
genetic adjustments to adapt the vaccine to
COVID-19, that is, the coronavirus affecting
humans. They are currently working to achieve the safety
approvals that will enable in-vivo testing, enable
the initiation of production of a vaccine to counter
the coronavirus epidemic. The researchers discovered that the poultry
coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the
human COVID-19, and that it uses the same
infection mechanism. This, according to the researchers, increases the
likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine
in a very short period of time. Israeli researchers announce breakthrough on

said: “Given the urgent global need for a human
coronavirus vaccine, we are doing everything we
can to accelerate development. Our goal is to
produce the vaccine during the next 8-10 weeks,
and to achieve safety approval in 90 days. He said the vaccine will be in an oral form which will
make it more accessible to the public. Chen Katz, MIGAL’s biotechnology group leader,
also said “the scientific framework for the vaccine is
based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that
delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by
self-activated endocytosis (a cellular process in
which substances are brought into a cell by
surrounding the material with cell membrane,
forming a vesicle containing the ingested material), causing the body to form antibodies against the
virus. In pre-clinical (IN-VIVO) trials, MIGAL’s
researchers have demonstrated that the oral
vaccination induces high levels of specific anti-IBV
antibodies.” Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the federal ministry of health has confirmed the first case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) case in Nigeria. The case, which was confirmed on Thursday,
February 27 is the first to be reported in the country
since the beginning of the outbreak the viral
disease in China in January. The case is an Italian citizen who works in Nigeria
and returned from Milan, Italy to Lagos, Nigeria on
Tuesday, February 25. As one of its measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in Lagos, the state government has kicked off an identification process so as to
ascertain all who had contact with the infected
Italian man. According to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a
press briefing, those who will be discovered as
contacts of the man in the state will be immediately
quarantined. Confirming this, the state's commissioner for health,
Akin Abayomi, said that the process started in the
afternoon of Friday, February 28, Premium Times
reports.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's former vice president, Atiku
Abubakar, has advised the federal government on to tackle coronavirus as Nigeria confirmed the first case of the deadly
disease. In a statement posted on his official Facebook page
on Friday, February 28, Atiku gave four major pieces of advice of how the Muhammadu Buhari-
led administration can effectively tackle the disease. First, Atiku advised the Nigerian government to
tackle the disease putting up a united front. He
advised that the country must be united if it wants
to defeat the virus. Also, the Nigerian Senate has warned that the
country is not adequately prepared to contain the spread of coronavirus. The lawmakers rejected the preventive measures
put in place by the Federal Ministry of Health and
other relevant agencies were not enough. The Senate, therefore, charged the committee on
health to put pressure on the health ministry and
other related agencies to ensure that the right thing
is done. Sadly, an Italian-Nigerian professional footballer
named King Paul Akpan Udoh has reportedly
emerged as the first footballer to be diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus . The entire world has been thrown into a serious
panic since the outbreak of the deadly disease
which emanated from China in which hundreds are
currently battling for survival. Until he was said to have been confirmed a carrier
of the disease, King Paul Akpan was playing in the
Italian third division side with Pianese. King Paul Udoh, 22, was reported to have been
diagnosed with deadly coronavirus on Thursday,
February 27, and he has been quarantined
according to various reports.

Blessed be the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob. Salvation is from the Jews.

Good one isreal

An one Arab nation that have not contributed kobo to improve our world will be making noise.

Their own is terrorism.

How many times will they announce breakthrough

Good news

Blessed be the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob. Salvation is from the Jews.

They achieved it by screaming God of Abraham right
Check out well and you may see the researchers are most likely Jewish Atheists
Meanwhile the Jews who take their bible serious(haredi Jews) are nearly as useless as you guys.

See as people dey shout thank God, thank God. Lol. Una wan go heaven but Una no wan die.

It's easy to find cure for a disease created by you.

Okwyjesus:

In other words the white men are justified in whatever atrocities they've perpetrated against you

Only fools and ignorant people believe you're the isreal in the bible
People of God are not white

Iran will beg them for the drugs. Israel should not sell the drugs out anybody that need treatment should go to Jerusalem.let see what the terrorist Arabs will do.

The beauty of science.

Good News

Igbo Amaka we are Israelites

What has Iran contributed positively to the whole universe

BeLookingIDIOT:

In other words the white men are justified in whatever atrocities they've perpetrated against you

What atrocities have Israel committed that Arab world have not committed 1000 times.

To God Almighty... Please help us and forgive us of our wrong doings,for we don't knows what we are doing, please grant us your Children peace in our heart, joy in our soul and a change spirit, so things don't fall apart.
