title: [Development of viral vaccines].
abstract: Great success in the control of infectious diseases has been achieved by vaccination, and especially for virus infections immunization will remain of great significance. Knowledge of the epidemiology of a virus infection, an optimum vaccination strategy as well as the feasibility of a vaccination programme are important factors. Our considerations will lead to the conclusion that further development of conventional (dead/live) vaccines has to be advanced together with "modern" vaccines (obtained by recombinant gen technology). With regard to an "AIDS-vaccine", molecular biology seems to be the method of choice.
