Emerging and Re-emerging Avian Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Avian production is an important component of global food security, local and international trade, and agricultural economies. In the past 20 years, a number of viruses, such as avian influenza viruses (H5Nx, H7N9, H9N2 and etc), infectious bronchitis viruses, infectious bursal disease viruses, avianTembusu viruses, adenoviruses, waterfowl parvoviruses, astroviruses, bacteriological disease and so on. These pathogens have emerged and re-emerged in avian industry impact health and the productivity with different genotypes and virulence, causing huge economic loss in CHINA and worldwide. Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose a new challenge for veterinarians and researchers. This Special Issue focuses on these emerging and re-emerging avian diseases and aims to propose new methods of how to improve the prevention and control strategies of these emerging and re-emerging diseases.

We would like to invite you to contribute scientific articles, including research papers and mini-reviews, to our Special Issue. We hope this Special Issue will be useful to veterinarians, epidemiologists, risk analysts, industry organizations, and other groups. Additionally, we hope to propose some informed policies, investments, and risk mitigation strategies regarding health and management.
