Plain-English summary
Recent advancements in science and technology are changing how vaccines for pets are developed. Researchers are using new methods, like genetic engineering and studying proteins, to create better vaccines and improve the ones we already have. New types of vaccines, such as subunit vaccines, recombinant vaccines, DNA vaccines, and vectored vaccines, are becoming more accepted by both scientists and the public as alternatives to traditional vaccines. This review highlights how modern knowledge in microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology is influencing veterinary vaccine development. Overall, these developments aim to enhance the effectiveness and safety of vaccines for pets.
Abstract
Advancement in technology and science and our detailed knowledge of immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry among other basic science disciplines have defined new directions for vaccine development strategies. The applicability of genetic engineering and proteomics along with other new technologies have played pivotal roles in introducing novel ideas in vaccinology, and resulted in developing new vaccines and improving the quality of existing ones. Subunit vaccines, recombinant vaccines, DNA vaccines and vectored vaccines are rapidly gaining scientific and public acceptance as the new generation of vaccines and are seriously considered as alternatives to current conventional vaccines. The present review focuses on recent advances in veterinary vaccinology and addresses the effects and impact of modern microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology.
