The Grand Challenge for the Future

The vaccines most urgently needed are those against
poverty-related diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV.
However, there is a considerable gap between the development of a
vaccine and the implementation as a useful measure for disease
control. Major obstacles need to be overcome even after successful
completion of the preclinical stage.
This book provides an important link between vaccine development
and application under the particular conditions in developing
countries.
The editors, S.H.E. Kaufmann and P.H. Lambert - one from the field
of basic research and the other an expert on the side of applied
vaccinology - have gathered contributions from specialists of both
fields in an attempt to create a source of information that has
thus far not been available.

"The book gives a useful insight into many aspects of practical vaccinology. The recent availability of new funding through the Gates Foundation, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, and the Vaccine Fund will open new opportunities for vaccination programmes in countries of th edeveloping world."
