Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Swine diseases faced in the pig farming process have severely threatened the safety and quality of pork products, seriously hindered the sustainable development of the pig farming industry, and posed a major risk to human health. For example, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has become one of the most important pig diseases, causing huge economic losses worldwide. Vaccination and antiviral molecule treatment are the most effective strategies to combat pig diseases. However, several commercial vaccines provide limited protection against homologous strains such as PRRS vaccines or are unavailable (e.g., African swine fever). Therefore, novel swine vaccine development is urgently needed. The scope of this Special Issue focuses on developing novel swine vaccines, such as modified live vaccines, genetic engineering vaccines, and so on. The study of pathogen–host interactions for the design of vaccines is also encouraged.
