Vaccines for Animal Viral Infections

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that the unbridled spread of animal viruses can pose a serious threat to human health, especially some novel and re-emerging animal viruses, some of which have the potential for cross-species transmission to humans. Given the current "One Health" concept, the effective prevention of animal viral diseases is of great public health importance, and vaccination is, without doubt, the most cost-effective means of preventing, controlling and even eradicating infectious animal viral diseases. Therefore, the development of safe and effective vaccines against animal viral diseases is an effective tool and an important strategy to combat viral infections in animals.

In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research papers and review articles spanning the entire spectrum of animal viral vaccines including (but are not limited to): Progress and challenges in animal viral vaccine development; new technologies used in the development of animal viral vaccines; methods and means of evaluating the vaccination effect; different vaccination routes on the immunization effect; multivalence combined vaccine in animal viral vaccine development; the importance of the vaccine types and current status on companion animal viral vaccines.
