Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary viruses seriously harm the health of livestock, domestic animals and wildlife. Their study mainly includes virus-induced pathogenesis, immunity, and epidemiology. As we know, almost two-thirds of the pathogens that cause diseases in humans (SARS-CoV-2, avian influenza virus, Ebola virus, etc.) are of animal origin. In addition to those zoonoses, some animal-species-specific viruses, such as African swine fever virus (ASFV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV), foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), etc., are also extremely important. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers or reviews concerning the pathogenesis, immunology and epidemiology of veterinary viruses.
Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following: findings on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of animal viral diseases; both innate and adaptive immune responses induced by animal viruses; immune escape of animal viruses; and the interaction between animal viruses and host.
We invite you to share your recent findings through this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
