Vaccination is the best way to prevent the spread of emerging or reemerging infectious disease. Current research for vaccine development is mainly focused on recombinant-, subunit-, and peptide-based vaccine. At this point, immunoinformatics has been proven as a powerful method for identification of potential vaccine candidates, by analyzing immunodominat B- and T-cell epitopes. This method can reduce the time and cost of experiment to a great extent, by reducing the number of vaccine candidates for experimental testing for their efficacy. This chapter describes the use of immunoinformatics and molecular docking methods to screen potential vaccine candidates by taking Leptospira as a model.
