VaccinesTestedAdvantagesDisadvantagesRef.
Live-attenuated vaccineIn vitro / in vivoBroad spectrum, low costIncomplete attenuation[143-149]
Inactivated vaccineIn vitro / in vivo / clinical trialInability to replicateHigh cost[150-162]
Subunit vaccineIn vitro / in vivoSafe to useLow immunogenicity[153,154,163-178]
Synthetic peptidesIn vitro / in vivoSmall and safe to useLow immunogenicity, escape mutants[94,179-181]
Virus-like particlesIn vitro / in vivoSafe to useUnstable, need purification, high cost[162,182-185]
DNA vaccineIn vitro / in vivoMost resemble native virus, fast production, low cost, can be manipulatedLow neutralising effect[153,186-190]
