Current Trends in Vaccines against Parasite in Domestic Animals

Abstract

Numerous parasites can cause illness, which have significant effects on productivity and health of animals causing significant economic losses worldwide. Traditional control approaches, such as anthelmintic medicines, are challenged by drug resistance and residues in food products. As a result, the development of effective and sustainable parasite vaccines has emerged as an important topic of research. Parasitic infestation can cause economic loss in the livestock sector and the best way to prevent this loss is by vaccination. The agents that cause parasitic diseases are protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites, and each requires a unique strategy for prevention and management. This review overviews the present landscape of parasitic vaccine development, highlighting the key strategies, challenges, and upcoming future prospective. The ultimate objective is to create parasite vaccines that are safe, efficient, and profitable, enhancing animal welfare and promoting public health and global food security.
