Abstract
Viruses are the smallest self-replicating organism in the nature, they replicates solely within the living cell of an organism. Viruses are a small acellular infectious agent, generally less than 250nm diameter. Viruses particles consist of small genetic segment of DNA or RNA packaged within a protein coat. In some cases these particles are membranes enveloped derived from plasma membrane or other cellular organelles.The purpose of this textbook is to provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of antiviral vaccine platforms, from standard live attenuated and inactivated vaccines to recombinant subunit, DNA and messenger RNA (m-RNA), and viral vector-based platforms, which led to enhanced vaccination effectiveness and improved production capabilities. Therefore, the present work highlight the vaccines production and purification methods, current approved and future viral vaccines, the advantages and limitations of the current viral vaccine strategies, the difficulties encountered in vaccine development, and how these vaccines can be improved for future use.
