Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Classical swine fever (CSF) is, without any doubt, one of the most devastating viral infectious diseases affecting the members of the Suidae family, which causes a severe impact on the global economy. The reemergence of CSF virus (CSFV) in several countries in America and Asia, and sporadic outbreaks in Europe shed light on the serious concern that a potential global reemergence of this disease represents. The negative aspects related to the application of mass stamping-out policies, including elevated costs and ethical issues, point out vaccination as the main control measure against future outbreaks. However, despite the implemented efforts by many government authorities to control and eradicate CSF from national pig populations, the disease remains endemic in Asia, some countries in Europe, the Caribbean, and South America.
Hence, it is imperative that the scientific community continue active research into more effective vaccines against CSFV capable of eliciting robust humoral and cellular immunities, as well as the ability to differentiate vaccinated from unvaccinated animals.
This Special Issue will focus on the advances in the development of novel vaccines and strategies against CSFV, looking to gather the current knowledge in marker vaccines with DIVA capability and molecular characterization of escaping variants for this viral agent. All papers, including original research articles and reviews, are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
