Vaccination of animals has been carried out for centuries, and it is the most cost-effective and sustainable method of controlling infectious diseases. Veterinary vaccines not only are important to animal health but also play a vital role in reducing transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans and in securing food sup-ply for humans. Conventional inactivated (killed) or live-attenuated vaccines constitute the majority of licensed veterinary vaccines that are currently in use. The widespread use of these vaccines not only substantially contributed to animal welfare and public health but also led to a successful global eradication of rinderpest, one of the animal diseases with major economic consequences in many parts of the world.
