Vaccinology: An Essential Guide outlines in a clear, practical format the entire vaccine development process, from conceptualization and basic immunological principles through to clinical testing and licensing of vaccines.

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide

Edited by Alan D.T. Barrett and Gregg N. Milligan

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide is a textbook for everyone studying vaccinology in different parts of the World, including in North America, Australasia and Europe. It provides the complete picture of the vaccine development process, from conceptualization and basic immunological principles through to clinical testing and licensed vaccines, with a complete introduction to the history and practice of vaccinology, presenting the basic science relating to the host immune response to pathogens.

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide covers the safety, regulatory, ethical, and economic issues that drive vaccine development and trials, placing these in global context. It discusses vaccine delivery strategies, novel vaccine platforms (including experimental vaccines and pathogens), antigen development and selection, and vaccine modelling, and includes the development of vaccines against emerging pathogens and agents of bioterror. There are also sections devoted to veterinary vaccines and associated regulatory processes.

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide is designed for undergraduate and graduate microbiologists and immunologists, and for residents, fellows and trainees of infectious disease. It is also suitable for all those involved in designing and conducting clinical vaccine trials, and is the ideal companion to the reference Vaccinology: Principles and Practice.

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide outlines in a clear, practical format the entire vaccine development process, from conceptualization and basic immunological principles through to clinical testing and licensing of vaccines. With an outstanding introduction to the history and practice of vaccinology, it also guides the reader through the basic science relating to host immune responses to pathogens.

Covering the safety, regulatory, ethical, and economic and geographical issues that drive vaccine development and trials, it also presents vaccine delivery strategies, novel vaccine platforms (including experimental vaccines and pathogens), antigen development and selection, vaccine modelling, and the development of vaccines against emerging pathogens and agents of bioterror. There are also sections devoted to veterinary vaccines and associated regulatory processes.

Vaccinology: An Essential Guide is a perfect tool for designed for undergraduate and graduate microbiologists and immunologists, as well as residents, fellows and trainees of infectious disease and vaccinology. It is also suitable for all those involved in designing and conducting clinical vaccine trials, and is the ideal companion to the larger reference book Vaccinology: Principles and Practice.
