Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
China has a large number of pig farms and is also a big country of pork consumption. Meanwhile, porcine viruses also impose serious threats to porcine farms in China. During the past few decades, Chinese scientists have made great progress in research on porcine viruses and virus-related disease control, including viral epidemiology, viral pathogenesis, virus–host interactions, and vaccine and therapeutic antibodies. Notably, emerging and re-emerging viruses were first identified in recent years in China, such as African swine fever virus (ASFV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), Porcine Circovirus 4 (PCV4), and SADS-CoV (swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus). Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present “State-of-the-Art Porcine Virus Research in China”. Special emphasis will be placed on reports on the molecular mechanism of viruses’ pathogenesis, host immune response participating in anti-infection, development of different types of experimental vaccines, molecular basis of virus replication, virus structure, and new/improved diagnostic methods. We welcome original research articles and reviews across a broad range of topics on porcine viruses.
