Anti-Parasitic Vaccines and Host Immune Responses

Dear Colleagues,

Parasites pose a significant public health challenge as they are responsible for a wide range of diseases that have considerable global health and economic impacts, particularly in low-income countries. The challenge in developing vaccines against parasites stems from their ability to evade the host’s immune system and the complexity of their antigens. Therefore, further research is essential to prevent parasitic diseases. This Special Issue invites original research articles and review papers. Potential research topics include vaccine antigen design, vaccination strategies, vaccine delivery methods, vaccine efficacy studies, and host immune responses to parasite infections.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
