04/07/2016 by Priti Patnaik for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

The Zika Virus Challenge: Mapping A Policy Path To Vaccine Development

08/02/2016 by Priti Patnaik for Intellectual Property Watch 1 Comment

The lack of preparedness to counter the effects of Zika virus follows a familiar script – a virus known since 1947, but one that has no currently available vaccine or treatments, like many neglected tropical diseases. This case could be illustrative of the wider struggle to finance investments into neglected diseases, but may tell a different story given its rarity of occurrence. It also may demonstrate how the World Health Organization is re-emerging as the global leader on response to outbreaks.
