Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Poultry viral infectious diseases have caused heavy economic losses in the poultry industry, which has also caused serious threats to human health—especially concerning zoonotic infectious diseases. In the modern breeding industry, poultry are highly concentrated and frequently transported, which makes them more vulnerable to infectious diseases.
Therefore, veterinary vaccine research in poultry and related animal infectious diseases is increasingly important. Poultry viral infectious diseases have a broadly intersecting and close relationship with other disciplines in veterinary science. The spread and expansion mechanism of avian influenza virus has attracted widespread attention from researchers, which promotes the development of universal vaccines against the influenza virus infection. The differences and vaccine development between avian coronavirus, human coronavirus, and other animal species of coronaviruses are also important research topics. Also, the clinical variation patterns of the Newcastle disease virus and vaccine development are highly noteworthy priorities. Some avian immunosuppressive viral diseases and avian tumor diseases pose serious threats to the healthy development of the poultry industry, and the diagnostic technology and vaccine development of these related diseases are crucial. In addition, the development of new avian virus-vectored vaccines and the current application status and improvement measures of conventional vaccines are also the focus of this Special Issue.
This Special Issue focuses on recent vaccine research in important clinical virus infectious diseases in poultry, waterfowl, pigeons, and wild birds, including immunosuppressive diseases, respiratory syndrome diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases. Furthermore, the related detection and basic knowledge of immunology and immune adjuvant and enhancers are of great concern. Additionally, the development of scientific and standardized diagnoses and monitoring techniques for newly emerging avian viral diseases is also of great interest to us.
The research subjects of interest for this Special Issue include poultry, waterfowl, pigeons, wild birds, etc.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We encourage all scientists working in these fields to publish their experimental results and conceptual summaries in this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
