Glässer’s disease caused by Glaesserella parasuis (GPS) is a severe disease that results in substantial economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Here we describe a multiepitope vaccine cocktail (MEVC) that was designed using reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics. The MEVC was comprised of three multiepitope subunits (MESs, designated as TB,

ABSTRACT Ocular adverse events following COVID‐19 vaccination are well described; however, systematic analyses of non‐COVID antiviral vaccines remain limited. This review aimed to evaluate ocular complications associated with non‐COVID antiviral immunizations, including influenza, varicella‐zoster (VZV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and hepatitis B (HBV)
