Highlights
The Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses includes numerous human disease-causing pathogens that largely are increasing in prevalence due to continual climate change, rising population sizes and improved ease of global travel
Escalating circulation of these emerging and re-emerging pathogens draws attention to the need for vaccines to protect against the severe diseases they cause, and this need is further exacerbated by their transmission that occurs primarily through arthropod vectors
Strides toward this goal include virus-like particles (VLPs), which are outlined in the review written by Wong et al
Summary
The Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses includes numerous human disease-causing pathogens that largely are increasing in prevalence due to continual climate change, rising population sizes and improved ease of global travel. Efficacious vaccine candidates, several goals are targeted including safety, protective capacity, ability to confer sustained protection, induction of neutralizing antibody and protective T cell responses, as well as practicality.
