Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The health of domestic animals is of ever-growing concern. Of primary concern are the viruses that infect these animals. Domestic animals are intimately associated with many socioeconomic environments, meaning that protecting them from disease, in turn, benefits all of us.
Viral pathogens such as highly pathogenic avian influenza, Newcastle disease virus, Foot-and-mouth disease virus, African swine fever, and many more are an ever-present threat to the integrity of the agricultural animal industry. Other domestic animals of concern are those commonly kept as pets (e.g., dogs and cats). The detection and analysis of viral pathogens such as coronavirus, influenza, and herpesvirus are crucial to the health and safety of these animals.
In this Special Issue, “Genetic Detection and Analysis of Domestic Animal Viruses”, our hope is to showcase new and exciting discoveries in these areas. Improvements in genetic detection have a direct impact on veterinary vaccinology, clinical practices, and agricultural practices. Deeper analysis of these viruses gives us context for the relationship between them and their domestic animal hosts—how the viruses infect, replicate, transmit, and subsequently induce disease.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
