Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral infectious diseases are responsible for significant economic losses in livestock production worldwide, and they pose a constant threat to food security. Understanding viral pathogenesis and host immune responses is critical for developing and refining appropriate control measures. Hence, the scope of this topic is related to recent advances in the understanding of viral pathogenesis in livestock species, including ruminants, equines, and swine. The host immune responses related to viral pathogenesis and detection are also the focus of this comprehensive veterinary virology topic.
