Publications on Vaccine Preventable Diseases, 2006-2016

Wednesday, 16th of November 2016 Print
A review of the records of the National Library of Medicine shows the following number of publications indexed, by disease, for the period 2006 to date. This list covers only 15 of the vaccine preventable diseases most commonly targeted in developing countries.

That tuberculosis should top the list is by no means surprising. This disease is among the major causes of death, especially in developing countries, and new vaccine development research continues. Hep B and HPV are both preventable cancers. Much progress has been documented against cancers caused by hep B in early adopting countries.

While measles vaccine has been an early entrant in the vaccination calendar in most developing countries, this has not always been the case for rubella, for which disease burden studies are still needed from some countries.

Among the diseases listed, two remain problematic in terms of prevention strategy: pertussis, with whole cell and acellular vaccines preferred in developing and industrialized countries respectively, and rabies, for which cost-effective prevention measures, through human and veterinary vaccination, have not yet been widely implemented in many developing countries.
