| Abstract | CVD 103-HgR is a live oral cholera vaccine strain constructed bydeleting 94% of the gene for the enzymatically active A subunit ofcholera toxin from classical Inaba Vibrio cholerae O1 569B;the strain also contains a mercury resistance gene as an identifyingmarker. This vaccine was well tolerated and immunogenic indouble-blind, controlled studies and was protective in open-labelstudies of volunteers challenged with V. cholerae O1. Arandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study ofvaccine efficacy was designed to test longer-term protection of CVD103-HgR against moderate and severe El Tor cholera in U.S. volunteers.A total of 85 volunteers (50 at the University of Maryland and 35 atChildren's Hospital Medical Center/University of Cincinnati)were recruited for vaccination and challenge with wild-type V.cholerae El Tor Inaba. Volunteers wererandomized in a double-blind manner to receive, with buffer, a singleoral dose of either CVD 103-HgR (2 × 108to 8 × 108 CFU) or placebo (killed E.coli K-12). About 3 months after immunization, 51 of thesevolunteers were orally challenged with 105 CFU ofvirulent V. cholerae O1 El Tor Inaba strain N16961,prepared from a standardized frozen inoculum. Ninety-onepercent of the vaccinees had a ≥4-fold rise in serum vibriocidalantibodies after vaccination. After challenge, 9 (39%) of the 23placebo recipients and 1 (4%) of the 28 vaccinees had moderate orsevere diarrhea (≥3-liter diarrheal stool) (P <0.01; protective efficacy, 91%). A total of 21 (91%) of 23 placeborecipients and 5 (18%) of 28 vaccinees had any diarrhea(P < 0.001; protective efficacy, 80%). Peak stoolV. cholerae excretion among placebo recipients was 1.1× 107 CFU/g and among vaccinees was 4.9 ×102 CFU/g (P < 0.001). This vaccine couldtherefore be a safe and effective tool to prevent cholera intravelers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
