Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest advancements in the realm of innovative and enhanced vaccine formulations targeting tropical neglected pathogens. Cutting-edge immunotherapeutic approaches and mechanisms underlying the intricate host–pathogen interactions fall under the scope of this Special Issue. In addition, we encourage submissions addressing the mechanisms of action that exert influences upon the viability of the pathogens within both intermediary (invertebrate) and mammalian (comprising animal models and humans) hosts. Contributions encompassing clinical trial investigations are also invited.
