| malaria vaccines | Vaccines made from antigens arising from any of the four strains of plasmodium which cause malaria in humans, or from p. Berghei which causes malaria in rodents. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| viral hepatitis vaccines | Any vaccine raised against any virus or viral derivative that causes hepatitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| viral vaccines | Suspensions of attenuated or killed viruses administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious viral disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rickettsial vaccines | Vaccines for the prevention of diseases caused by various species of rickettsia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poliomyelitis vaccines | Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), an aqueous suspension of inactivated strains of poliomyelitis virus (types 1, 2, and 3) used by injection; has largely been replaced by the oral vaccine. See: Salk vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |

| haemophilus vaccines | Vaccines or candidate vaccines containing antigenic polysaccharides from haemophilus influenzae and designed to prevent infection. The vaccine can contain the polysaccharides alone or more frequently polysaccharides conjugated to carrier molecules. It is also seen as a combined vaccine with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |

| hog cholera vaccines | Vaccine's either of virus from blood of infected swine, inactivated with crystal violet, or live virus attenuated in rabbits or tissue culture and frequently used in conjunction with hog cholera virus antiserum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| influenza virus vaccines | Influenza virus grown in embryonated eggs and inactivated, usually by the addition of formalin; both whole virus and subunit preparations containing haemagglutinins and neuraminidase are used; because of the marked and progressive antigenic variation of the influenza viruses, the strains included are regularly changed following various outbreaks of influenza in order to include most recently isolated epidemic strains of both type A influenza and type B influenza. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccines | Vaccine's either of inactivated virus from infected cattle tongue epithelium or, more recently, of live virus attenuated by embryonated egg or mouse passage and propagated in tissue culture. (05 Mar 2000) |
