Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The spread of animal infectious diseases poses a significant threat to public health, particularly with the emergence of novel and re-emerging animal pathogens that may cross species barriers to infect humans. In line with the “One Health” concept, preventing animal diseases effectively is of paramount importance, and vaccination stands out as the most cost-effective strategy for prevention, control, and potential eradication of infectious animal diseases. Thus, developing safe and effective vaccines against animal diseases is a crucial tool in combating animal infections.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research papers and review articles that encompass a broad spectrum of animal vaccines, with a primary focus on mammal animals (e.g., swine, cattle, sheep, horses, and non-human primates) , fur animal (e.g., minks, fox, racoon dogs) , pets (cat and dog) , and petsand poultry (e.g., chickens, ducks, geese). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advancements and challenges in the development of viral and bacterial vaccines for animals, the exploration of novel vaccine mechanisms and immunological principles, innovative technologies utilized in vaccine development, methods for evaluating vaccination efficacy, the impact of various vaccination routes on immunization outcomes, new platforms and delivery systems for vaccine development, the role of multivalent combined vaccines in enhancing immunization strategies, and multidisciplinary approaches to developing novel veterinary vaccines. We also welcome contributions that focus specifically on vaccines for companion animals, such as dogs and cats. Submissions related to viral and bacterial disease vaccines within the veterinary field are encouraged. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
