Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccines play a pivotal role in safeguarding against animal infectious diseases, which not only impact global livestock production but also pose a risk to human health and security. The financial consequences of such diseases, ranging from production losses to trade restrictions, are immense. Vaccines, therefore, serve as a critical front-line defense, preventing, managing, and sometimes eradicating diseases. Traditional vaccines, though effective in certain cases, face challenges in terms of safety, efficacy, and speed of deployment. Next-generation vaccines offer enhanced efficacy and stability compared to traditional vaccines, owing to their precise targeting and controlled release mechanisms. These vaccines hold promise for the future, revolutionizing animal infectious disease prevention and control through improved immune response induction, broader pathogen coverage, and simplified administration protocols. We invite researchers working in diverse areas of next-generation vaccines research to contribute their insights and expertise to this exciting field, contributing to the global effort against animal infectious diseases.
This Special Issue cordially invites submissions of original research and review articles focusing primarily on the preclinical and clinical development of vaccines in the field of prevention and control of animal infectious diseases, including novel vector-based vaccines, new adjuvanted vaccines, LNP-mRNA vaccines, VLP vaccines, polymeric/inorganic nanoparticle vaccines, self-assembled protein vaccines, biomimetic nanoparticle vaccines, and so on.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Vaccines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
