Additionally, the development of DNA, RNA, and recombinant viral-vector vaccines has shown promise in inducing both humoral and cellular immune responses, which are crucial for effective immunization (Aida et al., 2021). These third-generation vaccines are not only safe and economically viable but also allow for the differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals, a feature that is particularly useful in managing disease outbreaks (Aida et al., 2021). 7.2 Potential for personalized veterinary vaccines The concept of personalized veterinary vaccines is gaining traction, driven by advances in omics technologies and vaccinomics. These approaches enable the characterization of host-vector-pathogen molecular interactions and the identification of candidate protective antigens (Fuente and Contreras, 2021). By leveraging these insights, it is possible to develop vaccines tailored to the specific immunological needs of individual animals or groups of animals, thereby enhancing vaccine efficacy and safety (Fuente and Contreras, 2021). This personalized approach could be particularly beneficial in managing diseases that exhibit high variability or in animals with compromised immune systems (Brisse et al., 2020). 7.3 Strategies for rapid response to emerging pathogens The rapid development and deployment of vaccines are critical in responding to emerging pathogens. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of having robust systems in place for the swift creation and distribution of vaccines. Lessons learned from the pandemic highlight the potential of platform technologies, such as mRNA vaccines, which can be rapidly adapted to new pathogens (Gershwin and Woolums, 2020). Additionally, the integration of molecular techniques in virology has facilitated the development of replicating, attenuated, and non-replicating virus vector vaccines, which can be quickly mobilized in response to emerging viral threats (Afrough et al., 2019). Regulatory frameworks also play a crucial role in this context, as streamlined processes for emergency use authorization and licensure can significantly expedite vaccine availability. In summary, the future of veterinary vaccine development lies in the adoption of emerging technologies, the potential for personalized vaccines, and the implementation of rapid response strategies. These advancements will not only enhance the efficacy and safety of vaccines but also ensure timely intervention in the face of emerging infectious diseases. 8 Concluding Remarks The development of veterinary vaccines for emerging pathogens has seen significant advancements in recent years, driven by the urgent need to control outbreaks and improve animal health. Traditional vaccine technologies, while effective for many pathogens, face limitations when dealing with persistent infections, rapidly evolving pathogens, and complex viral antigens. Novel approaches such as nucleic acid vaccines, viral vector vaccines, and nanotechnology-based vaccines have shown promise in overcoming these challenges. The integration of omics technologies and the concept of vaccinomics have further enhanced our understanding of host-pathogen interactions, leading to the identification of new vaccine candidates and improved vaccine efficacy. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of rapid vaccine development and the potential of new vaccine technologies to address emerging infectious diseases. Continued research and development in veterinary vaccine technologies are crucial for several reasons. First, the increasing global demand for food and the rise of intensive farming practices have led to more frequent outbreaks of zoonotic diseases, necessitating the development of new and more effective vaccines. Second, the rapid evolution of pathogens and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria require innovative approaches to vaccine development to ensure global health security. Third, the shared experiences and technologies between human and veterinary medicine, as highlighted by the One Health approach, can accelerate progress in both fields and lead to more effective vaccines for both humans and animals. Finally, the ongoing advancements in nanotechnology, viral
