DNA vaccines in veterinary applications have made great progress as various products have obtained licenses for infectious diseases.
To date, DNA vaccines have been successfully approved for preventing H5N1 in chickens (ExactVac), West Nile virus in horses (West Nile-Innovator), infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in schooled salmons (Apex-IHN), as well as Salmon alphavirus subtype 3 in Atlantic salmon (Clynav).
