Control of infectious diseases in livestock is an important determinant in the success of a nation's effort to efficiently meet its need for animal products. Genetic engineering offers many new options in the design of animal vaccines. Monoclonal antibodies, DNA cloning, recombination, and transfection are examples of techniques that facilitate innovative strategies in antigen identification, production, and delivery. This article reviews the use of genetic engineering in the production of vaccines directed against foot-and-mouth disease virus and other important pathogens of animals. The advantages and disadvantages of vaccines produced through the use of genetic engineering are discussed.
