Excerpt

Healthy animals perform better than those that are diseased; therefore there are significant benefits from preventing disease on farm by investigating new vaccine delivery systems. Recently, viral vectors have risen to prominence as candidates for generating immune responses. Of these viral candidates, lentiviruses are attractive as they have the ability to transduce non-dividing antigen presenting cells. For example, lentiviral vectors have been shown to produce an antigen-mediated immune response in mice, providing long term, sterile protection against Malaria[1]. …
