Vaccinology

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.
