Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of vaccines to fight infectious diseases represents a cornerstone in sustaining animal and human health. Indeed, the use of vaccinations to prevent pathogen-specific infection has successfully reduced the burden of several diseases in animal and human populations. Thus, in this era of antibiotic crisis, the development of non-antibiotic strategies to curtail infectious diseases in animals represents a great triumph for the One Health concept. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to highlight novel non-antibiotic approaches to support the sustainability of One Health initiatives.
We aim to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the scientific knowledge and current trends in the Perspectives and Novel Non-Antibiotics Approaches for One Health Sustainability. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute high-quality original research articles, reviews and communications on the latest progress in: (i) the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines and adjuvants; (ii) the identification of target protective antigens; (iii) novel immunotherapy strategies; (iv) clinical trials on the effectiveness and/or safety of animal and human vaccines; (v) the immunopathogenesis of and protective immunity against infectious diseases in animals and humans; (vi) the immune response to vaccines; and (vii) novel non-antibiotic (immunological) approaches to fighting infectious diseases.
We look forward to receiving your contributions
