Vaccinology and Immunology of Tropical Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,  

This Special Issue will provide advanced information to researchers, clinicians, public health specialists, and program control managers regarding the current state of vaccines toward combating tropical infectious diseases. The principle and dynamics of vaccine-preventable diseases, the human host immune response, as well as the current immunization strategies will be reviewed. The immune response to vaccines of people living with coinfections and comorbidities in the tropics will be discussed. Besides currently available vaccines, this issue will review the experimental vaccines for emerging and re-emerging diseases as well as vaccines for neglected tropical diseases. This issue will also address the public health strategies applied to vaccine-preventable disease control programs in the tropics.
