Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccines for poultry viruses are designed to stimulate the immune system of birds, enabling them to resist viral infections effectively, and are playing a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of poultry populations worldwide. Poultry vaccines can be administered through various methods and routes, such as in ovo (in the egg), subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, spray, or drinking water, depending on the type of vaccine, the age of the birds, and the disease being targeted. In recent years, advances in biotechnology have led to the development of more effective and safer vaccines, such as vector-based and mRNA vaccines, offering improved immunity and reduced side effects. However, challenges remain in areas including the emergence of new viral strains and the need for continuous research to improve vaccine efficacy and broaden the protective spectrum. This Special Issue encourages submissions covering all aspects of recent research and development in vaccines for poultry viruses.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
