Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Vaccine Development of Swine Viral Diseases—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following the great success of our previous Special Issue, “Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Vaccine Development of Swine Viral Diseases” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/vetsci/special_issues/RP60G56243), which successfully published 16 high-quality articles covering a broad range of topics, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II.

Pigs are among the most widely raised livestock species globally, and the sustainability of modern swine farming depends heavily on effective protection against viral infections such as African swine fever virus (ASFV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine circovirus (PCV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV), swine influenza virus (SIV), and other emerging or re-emerging swine viruses.

Building upon the foundation of the first volume, this second Special Issue will continue to explore the diverse aspects of these viruses, with a particular focus on diagnosis, epidemiology, and vaccine development. We sincerely welcome submissions that advance understanding and innovation in these areas. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Vaccine development for swine viral diseases;
• Epidemiological investigations of swine viruses;
• Novel diagnostic approaches for swine viral diseases;
• Isolation, characterization, and molecular studies of swine viruses.

We look forward to receiving contributions from researchers worldwide and hope this second volume will attract an even wider range of outstanding works to further enrich our understanding of swine virology and its applications in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Yifei Lang
Guest Editor
