The development of veterinary vaccines for emerging pathogens is a critical area of research that addresses both animal and public health concerns. This study explores global trends in veterinary vaccine development, focusing on innovative technologies and methodologies that have emerged in recent years. Traditional vaccines, while effective, have limitations such as variable efficacy and adverse effects. Recent advancements in nanotechnology, mRNA vaccines, and viral vector platforms offer promising alternatives to overcome these challenges. Nanovaccines, for instance, utilize nanoparticles to enhance antigen delivery and immune response, providing a novel approach to combat persistent and rapidly evolving pathogens. The "One Health" approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of human and animal health, advocating for cross-species vaccination strategies to control zoonotic diseases. Additionally, the integration of socio-economic data into vaccine development can improve resource allocation and disease management, drawing lessons from human vaccinology. This study highlights the importance of continuous innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration in developing effective veterinary vaccines to safeguard both animal and human health.
