Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ebola virus (EBOV) causes outbreaks of lethal febrile illness in Africa, the largest of which resulted in over 11,000 deaths and represented a global public health threat. A new biomedical countermeasure, the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing EBOV glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV) has been licensed (Ervebo; Merck & Co.). rVSV-EBOV is a replicative viral vaccine engineered to express EBOV antigen. Following rapid development stimulated by the large West African epidemic, an open-label, cluster-randomized ring vaccination trial called Ebola Ça Suffit! in Guinea and Sierra Leone demonstrated strong efficacy. The vaccine has a good safety profile, but is associated with self-limited arthritis and rash in a minority of recipients. rVSV-EBOV is highly immunogenic after a single intramuscular dose with antibody titers persisting for at least 2 years. In the recent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rVSV-EBOV was administered to more than 300,000 individuals and may have contributed, at least in part, to controlling the epidemic.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
