Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal viruses represent a great percentage of viral pathogens diffused around the world. From honeybees to large animals, viral infectious diseases represent a serious treat for agriculture and farming with enormous economic losses in both developing and developed countries. Since viral evolution is a main cause of the emergence and re-emergence of several viral diseases, a proportion of those events could also be favoured by human behaviour, such as intense farming, globalisation, global warming, urbanization that can create diverse wildlife–livestock–human interfaces, as currently demonstrated by the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. Since viral diseases can have disparate origins, including those food and arthropod borne, their control could be rather difficult and require a one-health approach.
The aim of this Special Issue is to update on the situation regarding studies on animal viruses, including epidemiological, control, prophylaxis and technical aspects.
We invite colleagues to send original articles covering these aspects.
