Description
|
| Despite the title, New Generation Vaccines, this authoritative book covers every aspect of the vast field of vaccinology, starting from its history all the way through to its modern-day application in noninfectious conditions. This is an update of the 2004 edition. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| The purpose is to provide the latest information about the development of new and improved vaccines and the implementation of these vaccines to prevent disease. This book is definitely needed, since the field of vaccinology advances rapidly. |
|
|
Audience
|
| Although no audience is specified, the book is appropriate primarily for vaccinologists. However, it may be used as a reference by physicians, researchers, nurses and other healthcare professionals, residents, fellows, and students in a wide range of specialties, including pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, primary care, infectious diseases, immunology, neurology, etc. |
|
|
Features
|
| The book starts with a historical perspective, but quickly brings readers up to date with modern vaccine development techniques. Chapters describe vaccine clinical trials and safety in detail. The interface between immunology and vaccinology is explored in depth. Traditional as well as innovative vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems are described. A majority of the book is devoted to comprehensive discussions of specific diseases and the vaccines designed to prevent them. Current and future challenges in vaccinology are identified and reviewed. Finally, the book explores applications of immunologic principles from vaccinology to noncommunicable diseases. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| This comprehensive book on vaccines will serve as a reference for all those with an interest in the field. A similar book, Vaccines, 5th edition, Plotkin et al. (Elsevier, 2008) covers much the same ground. However, this book is newer and more up to date. |
