The invention relates to an Asia1 type foot-and-mouth disease recombinant virus without pathogenicity for a host and a preparation method and application thereof. A saving system is efficient eukaryotic plasmids which are constructed by gene engineering and can express exact foot-and-mouth disease virus genome RNA (Ribonucleic Acid), and therefore the foot-and-mouth disease recombinant virus can be constructed and prepared; vaccine strains with high titer and good antigen matching property can be prepared by using the plasmids, can be prepared into live vaccines or inactivated vaccines and can effectively stimulate bodies to produce immune response after being used for immunizing pigs and cattle, provide an immune protective effect on the pigs and the cattle and effectively protect GV and GII prevalent strains, the immune protection rate can reach 100 percent, and the median protective dose (PD50) is 6.34 to 13.59; and the recombinant virus has the advantages of high titer, high antigen matching property with the prevalent strains, wide antigen spectrum and high immune protection rate, does not have pathogenicity for pig and cattle hosts, does not form toxemia or expel toxin, and can be applied to prevention and control of Asia1 type foot-and-mouth disease viruses of China and neighboring countries.

The invention relates to a gene deletion attenuated African swine fever virus as a vaccine and the vaccine, and a construction method thereof. An African swine fever Chinese epidemic strain Pig / CN / HLJ / 2018 is adopted, a virulence gene of the African swine fever virus is deleted by a genetic engineering technology, and the gene deletion virus of MGF360-505R deletion and joint deletion of CD2V and MGF360-505R is obtained. Experiments show that the two virus strains can provide 100% immune protection against the African swine fever Chinese epidemic virulent strains, can be used as vaccines for safe and effective prevention and control of African swine fever in China, and have great social value.

OMVs targeted against specific epidemic strains can be highly effective in controlling localized outbreaks of disease. In combination with large-scale and reproducible manufacturing techniques, a vaccine can be rapidly produced after an outbreak. The invention provides a method for preparing a meningococcal outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccine, comprising the steps of: (i) identifying the serosubtype of a meningococcal strain associated with an outbreak of meningococcal meningitis; (ii) preparing OMVs from a meningococcal strain having the serosubtype identified in step (i) for use in vaccine manufacture. The method may comprise one or both of the further steps of (iii) formulating said OMVs as a vaccine; and (iv) distributing said vaccine in a geographical area affected by or likely to be affected by said outbreak. The meningococcal strain will typically be in serogroup B, but may be instead by in serogroup A, C, W135, Y, etc.
