Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The immunization of animals is generally accepted as the most cost-effective method of controlling existing and emerging infectious pathogens. Several effective vaccines have been developed to significantly reduce the impact of some important diseases on both companion animals and livestock. The ultimate goal of vaccination is to generate humoral and/or cell-mediated immune responses, thereby inducing protection against subsequent natural infection.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide original research and reviews on animal vaccines against well-known and emerging pathogens that challenge animal health. Topics of interest range from discovery science to preclinical research, development, and clinical evaluation. We welcome articles on the development and evaluation of vaccines and molecular immunology related to viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. The scope of the section covers vaccine engineering, design, formulation, adjuvants, delivery and testing, and the associated immunological evaluation. The goal of this Special Issue is to present technological and conceptual research in all aspects of animal vaccines and molecular immunology.
Dr. Yue Wang
