Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global swine industry is facing major new and old challenges caused by emerging and re-emerging viral infections. Virus-induced diarrhea is the foremost challenging factor restricting the healthy development of the swine industry. These swine enteric diarrhea viruses include porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and porcine rotavirus (PoRV), as well as emerging viruses such as swine acute diarrhea syndrome-coronavirus (SADS-CoV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine kobuvirus (PkoV) and porcine bocavirus (PboV), etc. Given the contribution of swine production to food security, new measures and basic knowledge are needed when attempting to control the spread of these swine enteric diarrhea.
For this purpose, in this Special Issue we invite porcine virologists worldwide to submit their the latest research findings in the form of original research papers or communications, or to propose reviews related to the epidemiology, development and evaluation of diagnostic assays; virus discovery; transmission pathways; virulence; clinical aspects and vaccines. These research findings will help to address the future challenges for the global swine industry.
