Vaccination strategies for emerging disease epidemics of livestock. (Special Issue: Emerging, reemerging, and persistent infectious diseases of cattle.)

摘要

Well-designed immunization programs have an important role in the control of disease outbreaks in cattle. The success of these immunization programs depends on the coordinated and effective use of an efficacious vaccine along with other required control measures. Efforts to improve key characteristics of vaccines (such as onset of immunity, duration of immunity, and basic safety and efficacy) will allow greater utility of the vaccines for outbreak control.
