“…Reverse vaccinology immunoinformatics approaches are widely applied for viral vaccine design, such as for influenza virus, chikungunya virus, zika virus and others (Gupta et al, 2016;María et al, 2017), including parasites (Damfo et al, 2017) and bacteria Zahroh et al, 2016;Rappuoli, 2001). Khan et al developed a bioinformatics pipeline for DENV, which proved generic as it was successfully applied to several viruses, such as WNV (Koo et al, 2009), a close relative of DENV (Khan et al, 2008), and a number of other viruses, such as HIV-1 (Hu et al, 2013), among others. It provides a novel and generalized approach to the formulation of peptide-based vaccines targeting a broad diversity of pathogens and applicable to the human population at large.…”
