Ebolaviruses are at the forefront of emerging viruses and present a very perceptible threat to global peace and harmony. In the last decade, Ebola virus disease has claimed more than 90% of total lives since its inception in 1976. Owing to multiple host immune evasion methods employed by the virus and the limitations of traditional vaccine development approaches, finding a globally effective and reliable counter measure against Ebola virus remains a challenge. Highly conserved peptide fragments belonging to critical viral proteins and containing multiple epitopes which have the capacity to interact with a wide array of HLA molecules present a viable solution. Immunoinformatics or computational immunology enables rapid screening and shortlisting of plausible epitopes with a high immunogenic potential, thus, supporting expeditious elucidation of efficacious vaccine candidates. In light of above facts, we describe a computational methodology in this chapter for identification of potent peptide vaccine candidates against human infecting viruses. By applying this stringent methodology, we were able to identify multiple, immunogenic ebolavirus peptide fragments which, after verification in animal models, might be considered as part of future synthetic Ebola vaccine.
