چکیده
Vaccinology is the science or method of vaccine development. Vaccinology was born with Edward Jenner’s discovery of smallpox vaccine that changed the world of medicine forever. The foundation that Jenner laid began a course of vaccine development and has been proved to be successful in infectious diseases such as small pox and expected to eradicate many more emerging diseases like, poliovirus in coming years.

Vaccines have drastically reduced the mortality and morbidity of many diseases. However, vaccines have historically been developed empirically, and recent development of vaccines against current pandemics such as HIV and malaria has been met with difficulty. The advent of high-throughput technologies, coupled with systems biological methods of data analysis, has enabled researchers to interroga...
متن کاملPost-Genomics and Vaccine Improvement for Leishmania
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that primarily affects Asia, Africa, South America, and the Mediterranean basin. Despite extensive efforts to develop an effective prophylactic vaccine, no promising vaccine is available yet. However, recent advancements in computational vaccinology on the one hand and genome sequencing approaches on the other have generated new hopes in vaccine development....
متن کاملReverse vaccinology.
Whole-genome sequencing of bacteria and advances in bioinformatics have revolutionized the vaccinology field, leading to the identification of potential vaccine candidates without the need for cultivating the pathogen. This approach, termed "reverse vaccinology", reduces the time and cost required for the identification of candidate vaccines and provides new solutions for those diseases for whi...

Bacterial infectious diseases remain the single most important threat to health worldwide. Although conventional vaccinology approaches were successful in conferring protection against several diseases, they failed to provide efficacious solutions against many others. The advent of whole-genome sequencing changed the way to think about vaccine development, enabling the targeting of possible vac...
متن کاملControl of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza by Evidence-Based Vaccinology: Past Progress, Future Prospect
Background and Objectives: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses are particularly important due to huge economic consequences and public health concerns. During recent years, because of the severity of epidemics and failure in the control and eradication of HPAI, vaccination has been introduced into the National Prevention and Control Program of some countries, including Iran. This a...
