Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Avian viruses, including highly pathogenic avian influenza and zoonotic pathogens, pose significant threats to poultry industries and human health. With poultry being a major protein source in the world, the scale of farming creates an ideal environment for viral evolution and transmission. Early detection and understanding of avian viral immunity are crucial for effective disease control and prevention. Advances in diagnostic technologies have improved pathogen identification, but challenges remain in understanding host immune responses and developing effective vaccines.
This Special Issue focuses on the detection and immunity of avian viruses. We invite submissions on novel diagnostic techniques, immune responses in poultry and wild birds, vaccine development, and host genetic factors influencing susceptibility. By highlighting recent advancements, we aim to enhance our understanding of avian viral diseases and contribute to their control and prevention.
