Therapeutic Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are considered to be a promising approach to intercept the development of HPV-driven cancers in already HPV-infected people. This collection aims to gather the state of the art of therapeutic HPV vaccine research – from novel vaccine design concepts, to preclinical models, to results of clinical trials.

This collection invites research on veterinary vaccines with a special focus on One Health in all its dimensions. It extends from protecting human health through pathogen control and elimination in the reservoir hosts to reduction of antibiotics use and the generation of real world evidence for innovative vaccine concepts and technologies.
