Future Challenges

Overall, veterinary vaccines improve animal health and productivity. And in most cases, they are more cost-effective than treating sick animals; however, they can also make a significant impact on human health in terms of reducing the exposure to zoonotic pathogens as well as potentially harmful veterinary pharmaceuticals. With new technological advances in vaccine development, the veterinary vaccine market is forecast to grow exponentially, and this growth will be stimulated even further as recognized pathogens become resistant to drug therapies and new pathogens are discovered. As the population of the world continues to expand, the demand for nutrient sources, including protein from food-producing animals, will increase. This situation will require the continuous development of vaccines that are not only effective in preventing infectious disease but which must also be economical for animal producers. This will be a formidable task as the global population is predicted to reach between 7.5 and 10 billion by 2050. The development of future veterinary vaccines for both companion and food-producing animals depends in part on the discovery of new technologies that achieve selective induction of effective immune responses. To make an impact on animal health, collaborative efforts between researchers, manufacturers, and government regulatory agencies will be critically important for the successful of development and marketing of veterinary vaccines in the future.
