Perspectives for Developing New Tuberculosis Vaccines Derived from the Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis

The perspectives described in this chapter address both preclinical tuberculosis (TB) in animal hosts and clinical TB in human populations. They are a guide to how new TB vaccines can be more effectively evaluated in each group. This chapter is not a review of new TB vaccines or the mechanisms in which they may reduce the prevalence or morbidity of TB in the world.
