Abstract
Pathogens of viral origin produce a large variety of infectious diseases in livestock. It is essential to establish the best practices in animal care and an efficient way to stop and prevent infectious diseases that impact animal husbandry. So far, the greatest way to combat the disease is to adopt a vaccine policy. In the fight against infectious diseases, vaccines are very popular. Vaccination's fundamental concept is to utilize particular antigens, either endogenous or exogenous to induce immunity against the antigens or cells. In light of how past emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and pandemics were handled, examining the vaccination methods and technological platforms utilized for the animals may provide some useful insights. New vaccine manufacturing methods have evolved because of developments in technology and medicine and our broad knowledge of immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry, among other basic science disciplines. Genetic engineering, proteomics, and other advanced technologies have aided in implementing novel vaccine theories, resulting in the discovery of new ruminant vaccines and the improvement of existing ones. Subunit vaccines, recombinant vaccines, DNA vaccines, and vectored vaccines are increasingly gaining scientific and public attention as the next generation of vaccines and are being seen as viable replacements to conventional vaccines. The current review looks at the effects and implications of recent ruminant vaccine advances in terms of evolving microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology.
Highlights
Vaccinology was founded with Edward Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccine, permanently transforming the history of medicine
All goats immunized with virus-like particles (VLPs) and Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) Nigeria 75/1 produced significant levels of antibodies against PPRV F, H, and N proteins, while none of the goats immunized with PBS or alum adjuvant alone exhibited an immunological response. These findings indicated that VLP immunization resulted in substantially higher levels of serum neutralizing antibodies than PPRV Nigeria 75/1 immunization in goats [131]
IFN-γ concentration in VLP-immunized animal serum were higher, suggesting that VLPs stimulated a cellular immune response in goats. These findings show that VLPs trigger a strong immune response against PPRV infection in small ruminants, suggesting that PPRV VLPs may be used to develop a PPRV vaccine [131]
Summary
Vaccinology was founded with Edward Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccine, permanently transforming the history of medicine. He discovered that immunizing against a virus that is less virulent yet antigenically related (Cowpox virus) protects against a virus that is more virulent (smallpox virus) [1]. The global eradication of smallpox, as well as major reductions of other viral diseases such as polio, measles, mumps, and rubella, show that vaccination is the most practicable and cost-effective tool for detecting, managing, and eradicating infectious diseases [2]. The usage of the “Plowright” vaccine, for example, is generally thought to have been crucial in virtually eradicating the rinderpest virus from the globe. The Kabete O strain was passaged 90 times in tissue culture to establish this attenuated vaccine [3, 4]
