Vaccines are important in the control of the poultry diseases along with biosecurity measures. Today, vector vaccines which have lots of advantages compared to conventional vaccines stand out as a valuable alternative. In recombinant vector vaccine technology, antigens of various pathogens are delivered to another microorganism and the immune system of the vaccinated animal is stimulated by this vector. Viruses are frequently used in development of vector vaccines and bacteria or yeasts have also been preferred in some studies. For that purpose, viruses such as fowlpox virus (FPV), herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian leukosis-sarcoma virus (ALSV) are selected as vectors. In addition to these viruses, some bacteria including Salmonella and Campylobacter have been used in some vaccine research. This review provides information on vector vaccines against various infectious diseases of poultry.
