Human medicines European public assessment report (EPAR): Flucelvax Tetra, influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated, prepared in cell cultures), Date of authorisation: 12/12/2018, Revision: 15, Status: Authorised

• Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics , a One Health company developing vaccines and diagnostic tools for global public health and zoonosis concerns, presented new data from an animal study indicating the durability and broad strain coverage of LHNVD-105, the company’s universal influenza vaccine candidate.
• The data was presented at IDWeek 2023, which took place in Boston from October 11-15, 2023.
• Traditional seasonal influenza vaccines attempt to match circulating influenza strains.
• Alternate vaccine strategies that target multiple key components of the virus that are conserved across influenza viruses have the potential to combat this issue.

• These islands have lost species and unique habitats have shrunk to tiny remnants.
• More than 750 assessed species have declined by 19% on average since monitoring began in 1970.
• Today, out of over 10,000 species assessed, 16% (1,500, or one in six) are threatened with extinction.

Nature continues to decline

• Everyone depends on nature for the things it provides for free: so-called ecosystem services like healthy food, materials, clean air and water.
• There is cause to protect nature because it aligns with our values, from the moral responsibility we feel to future generations to the intrinsic worth we know nature has.
• The new report presents evidence on how and why nature is changing in the UK and in its four constituent countries.
• Added to these pressures on wildlife are invasive species, pollution and for some, such as birds of prey, persecution.
• Solving all of these problems will involve several actions that can be joined up to support each other.
• This is the scale at which conservationists need to operate in order to reverse nature’s decline.

Recovery by 2050?

• The 2023 state of nature report is timely given the recent adoption of global targets to recover nature.
• To halt and reverse biodiversity loss in the UK, efforts to conserve and restore species and habitats must ramp up.
• We have never had a better understanding of the state of nature and what is needed to fix it.
