Alternative strategies for vaccination to brucellosis

David W Pascual et al. Microbes Infect. 2018 Oct-Nov.

Abstract

Brucellosis remains burdensome for livestock and humans worldwide. Better vaccines for protection are needed to reduce disease incidence. Immunity to brucellosis and barriers to protection are discussed. The benefits and limitations of conventional and experimental brucellosis vaccines are outlined, and novel vaccination strategies needed to ultimately protect against brucellosis are introduced.

Keywords: Bacteria; Mucosal immunity; Vaccine.
