All vaccinations work by presenting a foreign antigen to the immune system in order to evoke an immune response. The active agent of a vaccine may be intact but inactivated ('attenuated') forms of the causative pathogens (bacteria or viruses), or purified components of the pathogen that have b...
متن کاملThreats from emerging and re-emerging neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

METHODS We reviewed the 17 NTDs classified by t...
