How Biotechnologies Can Improve Bovine Vaccinology?

چکیده
Infectious diseases, and especially viral diseases, can be prevented or controlled by several means. For many years, only hygienic measures based on animal culling were the methods of choice to control highly contagious diseases, like foot-and-mouth-disease (FMD) virus which can spread very quickly and very efficiently in a naïve population (Grubman & Baxt, 2004). Due to the development of new technologies, vaccination is now proposed to act in addition to other measures in order to control such epidemic diseases. Vaccination is also used to control several endemic diseases which can have profound economic effect in cattle production. Biotechnology is constantly applied to improve the quality of newly developed vaccines (Vannier & Martignat, 2005).
