Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Livestock are a major source of protein needed to feed a growing global population and are important for the livelihood of many people in lower and middle-income countries. Vaccination is a critical strategy for the control of infectious diseases that threaten the health and well-being of food animals. Vaccination of livestock is also a major One Health issue as it helps to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases and is a tool to reduce the use of antibiotics. This special issue of Vaccines explores recent advances in the development of vaccines for livestock and highlights new vaccine technologies, the application of nanotechnology in the delivery and formulation of vaccines, and the use of alternative routes of vaccination through a combination of original papers and reviews. A special emphasis is placed on diseases of zoonotic and economic importance.
