Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous expansion of poultry farming, viral diseases have become the number one killer endangering the lives and safety of poultry at present, causing significant losses to the breeding industry. Various poultry virus strains (AIV, IBV, IBDV, CAV, MDV, ALV, et al.) are also changing. Over time, higher rates of mortality and more infectious strains have evolved, the latter of which can even spread between different species, with some that are highly pathogenic and able to infect humans. Most poultry virus infections will destroy the body’s immune system, leading to secondary infections of various bacterial viruses. Therefore, studying the genetic evolution and pathogenic mechanism of poultry viruses and developing new rapid detection technologies and vaccines for poultry viral diseases will help to better prevent and control poultry diseases in the future. This Special Issue calls for manuscripts on poultry viral diseases, including viral molecular epidemiology, diagnosis, vaccines, drug treatment, prevention and control.
