Gestational exposure to yellow fever vaccine at different developmental stages induces behavioral alterations in the progeny

Early postnatal injections of whole vaccines compared to placebo controls: Differential behavioural outcomes in mice

“…With respect to how our study results relate to other similar investigations we observe the following: i) in regard to body weight, our results showed that the mice from both experimental groups deviated from the expected body weight which was significantly lower than controls. The body weight has been suggested as one of the best indicator of the physical development of pups and highly correlated with the pre-weaning landmarks of development [73]. Our result of body weight is in line with those from our previous study [74] and others [75][76][77] which have shown a reduction in body weight post exposure to vaccine Al adjuvants that can be found in some of the vaccine formulations used in the present study.…”
