“…These include small molecules, peptides, proteins, short nucleic acids, DNA, viruses, virus-like particles, polymeric particles, and insoluble inorganic particles (Cormier et al, 2004;Gill and Prausnitz, 2007a;Kim et al, 2010b;Zhang et al, 2012b). More specifically, coated microneedles have been widely investigated to study influenza vaccination (Kim et al, 2011;McNeilly et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014;Fernando et al, 2016;Choi et al, 2018). Additionally, coated microneedles have also been used to deliver antigens for other infectious diseases such as diphtheria (Schipper et al, 2017;Du et al, 2018), ebola (Liu et al, 2018), hepatitis (Andrianov et al, 2009;Gill et al, 2010), herpes simplex virus (Chen et al, 2010;Kask et al, 2010), human immunodeficiency virus Caucheteux et al, 2016), human papillomavirus (Kines et al, 2015), Leishmania (Moreno et al, 2017), measles (Edens et al, 2013), pneumonia (Pearson et al, 2015), polio (Muller et al, 2016), severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (Jung et al, 2017), smallpox (Hooper et al, 2007), tuberculosis (Hiraishi et al, 2011), West Nile virus (Prow et al, 2010), and chikungunya (Prow et al, 2010).…”
