Russia has extensive developments in the field of vaccines against Marburg virus, West Nile fever, and Lassa fever, said Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko.
"We developed a vaccine against the Ebola virus in the past. Currently, we have made substantial progress on the Marburg virus, Lassa fever, and West Nile fever," he said at a meeting of BRICS health ministers.
He invited BRICS countries to cooperate in this field, noting that Russia is ready to share its knowledge and capabilities.
Earlier, Russia's consumer rights and human welfare watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, reported that the country's "Vector" research center has developed a Marburg fever vaccine, which has already undergone preclinical trials and shown effectiveness. Currently, documents are being prepared to obtain permission for conducting clinical trials.
