Abstract
Tick vaccines are an environmentally friendly intervention for the prevention and control of tick-borne diseases affecting humans and animals worldwide. From our perspective, the challenges in tick vaccinology have encouraged the implementation of new interventions. In this opinion article we propose paratransgenic quantum vaccinology as a new approach that integrates platform trends in biotechnology, such as omics datasets combined with big data analytics, machine learning, and paratransgenesis with a systems biology perspective. This innovative approach allows the identification of protective epitopes in tick- and/or pathogen-derived proteins for the design of chimeric vaccine candidate antigens which can be produced by commensal/symbiotic microorganisms eliciting a protective response in the host.
期刊介绍：
Since its inception as Parasitology Today in 1985, Trends in Parasitology has evolved into a highly esteemed review journal of global significance, reflecting the importance of medical and veterinary parasites worldwide. The journal serves as a hub for communication among researchers across all disciplines of parasitology, encompassing endoparasites, ectoparasites, transmission vectors, and susceptible hosts.
Each monthly issue of Trends in Parasitology offers authoritative, cutting-edge, and yet accessible review articles, providing a balanced and comprehensive overview, along with opinion pieces offering personal and novel perspectives. Additionally, the journal publishes a variety of short articles designed to inform and stimulate thoughts in a lively and widely-accessible manner. These include Science & Society (discussing the interface between parasitology and the general public), Spotlight (highlighting recently published research articles), Forum (presenting single-point hypotheses), Parasite/Vector of the Month (featuring a modular display of the selected species), Letter (providing responses to recent articles in Trends in Parasitology), and Trendstalk (conducting interviews). Please note that the journal exclusively publishes literature reviews based on published data, with systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and unpublished primary research falling outside our scope.
