Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In terms of host response concerns, we still need to acquire a greater understanding of swine immune responses against viral pathogens. Indeed, not much is known on swine immune responses against each viral infection. The ability to conduct rapid diagnosis via point-of-care testing (POCT) systems using molecular and/or humoral techniques will be very important. Vaccines with new platform such as viral vectors, DNA/mRNA, and subunits will be crucial in the development of the swine industry.
We must still extensively develop our techniques in this area and continue to share information.
This Special Issue aims to collect reviews and research articles focusing on:
(i) new diagnostics
(ii) well-established viral pathogenesis and gene function
(iii) innovative technologies in drug discovery for highly pathogenic viruses
(iv) new vaccines and antivirals
(v) zoonosis
We look forward to your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Hyun-jin Shin
Guest Editor
