Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to present a new Special Issue of Animals on “Infections and Diarrhea of Enteric Coronaviruses in Pigs”. Porcine enteric coronaviruses (PECs), which include porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), infect pigs of different ages and cause diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration in piglets, with high morbidity and mortality. PECs, which have the potential to spread across species, are causing huge economic losses in the pig industry in China and the world. Therefore, studies focusing on PECs are urgent.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase the newest contributions in the field of porcine enteric coronavirus research, providing new insights into, and research on, unresolved issues. Papers exploring virus–host interactions, viral replication, pathogenesis, immunity, evolution, and novel antiviral strategies will be published in this Special Issue. Original research and review papers relevant to this area are particularly welcome.
