Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This topic explores the fascinating and complex phenomenon of viruses jumping from one species to another. These interspecies transmissions can have profound consequences for both the viruses themselves and the hosts they infect. This Special Issue collates a diverse array of studies that shed light on the mechanisms, consequences and potential control measures related to viral interspecies transmission. From investigating the factors that drive cross-species transmission to exploring the evolutionary implications of such events, this Special Issue offers a comprehensive view of this critical aspect of virology.
