Utilization of Non-human Viruses as Recombinant Vector Vaccines against Newly Emerging Human Viral Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of new viral diseases continues to pose ongoing global health challenges, underscoring the need for efficient vaccines.

Herpesviruses, adenoviruses, poxviruses, and baculoviruses are potential vectors for antigens from various pathogens. This Special Issue highlights recent research and advancements regarding the use of non-human viruses as vectors and discusses recent research and advancements on this topic. It discusses their benefits, challenges, and future directions. Research areas may include non-human viruses, recombinant vector vaccines, emerging human viral diseases, vaccine development, immunogenicity, the immune response, comparative vaccine studies, and clinical trials.
