Molecular virology and vaccine technology are pivotal in understanding and combating the widespread impacts of viruses across ecosystems. Viruses drive genetic diversity through horizontal gene transfer but pose significant threats to agriculture by infecting crops and livestock, reducing yields, and spreading diseases that harm both food security and human health. Cutting-edge vaccine platforms, such as mRNA and virus-like particles (VLPs), offer transformative solutions. They enable innovations like RNA-based plant vaccines, biopesticides targeting viral vectors, and thermostable livestock vaccines for remote areas. These advancements not only protect agricultural productivity and food safety but also prevent zoonotic diseases and promote global sustainability.
