Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus that causes hepatitis in humans. This study aims to prepare a Hepatitis DNA vaccine. he optimized base sequence of the SB3-HBcAg gene was derived from the nucleotide base sequence of the Hepatitis B core antigen B3 HBcAg subgenotype, and then Cloning of the pcDNA3.1-SB3-HBcAg has been successfully performed on E. coli DH5α and confirmed by PCR, restriction analysis and sequencing. The propagated plasmids were prepared as DNA-chitosan complex and physiochemical characterized using Particle Size Analyzer. Complex with a 4:1 (wt/wt) ratio of DNA with 0.04% concentration and chitosan have a mean diameter of 231.7 nm and zeta potential +12.3 mV and the value of Cytotoxicity Assay 80-90% as compared to the untreated cells that used as negative control, so it can be concluded that nanoparticles chitosan has good potential as a carrier agent for pcDNA3.1-SB3-HBcAg.

The development of Jembrana disease vaccine is importance to prevent the loss of Bali cattle industry in Indonesia. This study aims to prepare a Jembrana DNA vaccine. The data Tat protein sequences gained from NCBI and the consensus process has been finished by the MultAlign program, and then Cloning of the pcDNA3.1-tat has been successfully performed on E. coli DH5α and confirmed by PCR, restriction analysis and sequencing. The propagated plasmids were prepared as DNA-chitosan complex and physiochemical characterized using Particle Size Analyzer. Complex with a 1:2 (wt/wt) ratio of DNA and chitosan have a mean diameter of 268.5 nm and zeta potential +25.1 mV and the value of Cytotoxicity Assay 80-90% as compared to the untreated cells that used as negative control, so it can be concluded that nanoparticles chitosan has good potential as a carrier agent for pcDNA3.1-tat.

Sera from 299 fishermen 16 to 80 years old, residents in Cananeia and Iguape counties, southern cost of São Paulo State, Brazil, were studied in order to identify a possible association between the prevalence of specific antibodies to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and exposure to haematophagus mosquitoes evaluated by the prevalence of arbovirus antibodies. This professional group presented the highest prevalence of arbovirus antibodies (54.1%) in past investigations carried out in this heavily forested region. Detection of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) in the sera was done by enzyme immunoassay (Roche). Prevalence of anti-HBc antibodies in this group was 31.4% (94/299) which is very high compared with 7.2% to 15.0% for different groups of healthy adults in State of São Paulo. No significant difference is observed between the prevalences of HBV antibodies in Iguape and Cananeia. Prevalence of anti-HBc and anti-arbovirus antibodies increases with age. There is a concordance in the distribution according to age groups of the frequency of anti-HBc and anti-arbovirus positive sera. Ag HBs was detected in 4% of the studied sera. These results support the hypothesis that the transmission of the hepatitis B virus and the arboviruses may be due to the same factor, one of the possibilities would be by anthropophilic mosquitoes.
