Overview
Vaccines against west nile virus are under development, but they have shown promising results in phase I and II trials. Ribavirin and interferon alfa-2b are currently being studied for the treatment of west nile virus CNS infection, as both drugs have shown benefit in in vitro studies.
Future or Investigational Therapies
Vaccine
- Several vaccines are under development for west nile virus infection, but none has been approved for clinical use. Experimental models in mice and horses have shown promising results, and phase I and II trials have shown safety and immunogenicity, but further research needs to be done. [1]
- The following vaccines are under development:
Medications
- Ribavirin has been used in cases of west nile virus CNS involvement, as it has demonstrated inhibition of the virus in human neural cells in vitro.[8][9]
- Interferon alfa-2b has also shown benefit in in vitro studies against west nile virus CNS infection.[10]
- Further studies need to be done to determine the efficacy and safety of ribavirin and interferon alfa-2b in west nile virus infection.
