Havana, July 19 (RHC)-- Cuban scientists are undertaking studies on the effectiveness of a new candidate vaccine against tuberculosis, a disease considered a health emergency in the world since 1993.
Doctor Iliana Valdes, from the Havana-based Pedro Kouri Tropical Medicine Institute, told reporters that her expert team adopted the strategy to use a micro-bacterium isolated in Cuban labs since 1971, which has proven its possible protection against tuberculosis, given the results obtained from tests in animals.
“We are now in the pre-clinical stage using lab animals and we still have to go through other models before considering human beings,” said the specialist.
