Abstract: Sudden outbreaks of pandemics caused by virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, has been determined as a public health emergency of international concern. However, the development of a DIVH-compatible vaccine is time-consuming and full of uncertainty, which is unsuitable for an emergent situation like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Along with the development and public health implementation of new vaccines to prevent human diseases, e.g., human papillomavirus vaccines for cervical cancer; enterovirus 71 vaccines for hand, foot, and mouth disease; and most recently SARS-CoV-2, there is an increasing demand for DIVH. Here, we use the IsDAED approach to confirm SI peptides and to exclude NSI peptides, finally to direct the design of a DIVH protocol. It is plausible that our IsDAED approach is applicable for other infectious disease.
