Meanwhile, Scripps Research scientists are working on a vaccine
Research assistant Dylan Mendonsa works at Calibr-Skaggs Institute for Innovative Medicines, a division of Scripps Research in Torrey Pines where they are working on a vaccine for dengue.
“Using single drugs against a virus is dangerous,” Chatterjee said. “It’s expected that these molecules will work well together based on the fact that they hit different targets that are essential for the virus to replicate.” “Interestingly enough, this series of compounds we found not only have activity against flaviviruses, they also have some activity against influenza virus and coronaviruses,” Chatterjee said.
County crews started Friday with backpack sprayers covering areas around a neighborhood of about 60 homes in central Vista just east of South Santa Fe Avenue and west of Civic Center Drive. Truck-mounted spraying is to continue on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. “The truck treatments, then, are follow-up. We want to really make sure that we’re lowering the overall mosquito populations in the neighborhood.”
