Preface
With the high-profile research into recombinant plant-made therapeutics for Ebola and Zika virus, the commercialization and widespread use of such products are likely to occur in the future. Plant-made therapeutics have a variety of advantages over those made in traditional systems; yet their most fruitful application may be in veterinary medicine, due to less stringent regulations and a higher need for low-cost products. This book provides an in-depth explanation of the advantages and current limitations of recombinant plant-made vaccines for use in veterinary medicine. It discusses the background and up-to-date scientific achievements on plant-made vaccines for the most commonly targeted veterinary infections, written by top scientists in the field. London, Canada
