“…While both intranasal and intramuscular routes induced comparable systemic humoral and T cell responses, on SARS-CoV-2 viral challenge, the hamsters vaccinated by intranasal route showed significantly lower viral loads in the nasal tract and lungs than the hamsters that received intramuscular vaccination [11]. Although recombinant human adenoviruses are the predominantly used viral vaccine vectors [150], several other recombinant viruses such as modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA-poxvirus) [151], chimpanzee-derived adenoviruses (ChAd) [11][12][13], recombinant rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) [152], recombinant RSV [153], recombinant lentivirus [154], attenuated influenza or parainfluenza viruses [155,156], and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) [157] have been tested with varying success as viral vectors for mucosal vaccine delivery [5].…”
