Journal Article
Vaccinations for emerging and re-emerging viral diseases
2024
Overview
Emerging or re-emerging viral diseases have a pandemic potential and threaten global health. Vaccination is of crucial importance in the prevention of emerging and re-emerging viral diseases.
Description of the current status of vaccine development against Filoviridae, highly pathogenic coronaviruses, smallpox viruses, influenza viruses and arboviruses.
Focused literature search.
The World Health Organization (WHO) regularly publishes a list of infectious diseases that are expected to pose a major threat to humanity as they are could potentially trigger new pandemics; however, in addition to these human-to-human transmissible diseases, some arboviruses also have pandemic potential. In recent years numerous new vaccines, some of which are highly effective, have been licensed against new and re-emerging viral diseases and other promising vaccine candidates are currently in development.
There are still gaps in the development of vaccines in the area of Filoviridae and highly pathogenic coronaviruses. Vaccinations against smallpox viruses have been available for a long time. Developing influenza vaccines against novel strains in a timely manner is a challenge and universal influenza vaccines could be a possible solution. Modern vaccines are available against the arboviruses dengue and Chikungunya fever.
