Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viruses are an important research subject worldwide because of their serious threat to the swine industry. A lack of knowledge of the mode of variation and transmission of the swine viruses makes it difficult to fight the infection and develop effective vaccines. The epidemic potential of viruses is a result of the high variability of their genome and is correlated with their proliferation and pathogenicity. In the fight against porcine infectious diseases, research indicating the mechanisms by which viruses occur, with mutation and virulence increasing, their adaptability, efficient diagnosis and surveillance is extremely important. Accurate characterization of novel variants with possibly increased virulence and epidemic potential are also critical. We are pleased to invite you to submit articles describing and discussing the latest data on the viral infection on swine pathogenesis, diagnosis and control. It will be useful for the determination of potential antiviral therapies within viral genomes, as well as for designing and developing novel vaccines.
Dr. Liwei Li

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
