Emerging and Re-emerging Swine Viruses

Dear Colleagues,

In the past two decades, many viruses have emerged in the global swine population. This Special Issue focuses on important emerging and re-emerging swine viruses that influence pig production or overall porcine herd health management. This includes viruses that have recently caused outbreaks, such as the African swine fever virus (ASFV) and the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in Europe and Asia, which have led to devastating economic losses in the pig industry. Endemic swine viruses include porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV), swine influenza virus (SIV), foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), porcine circovirus (PCV), porcine sapelovirus (PSV), porcine astrovirus (PAstV), and any other emerging and re-emerging swine viruses.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect reviews and/or original research articles on emerging and re-emerging swine viruses. Submissions can include, but are not limited to:

1. The efficacy of commercial vaccines for emerging and re-emerging swine viruses;
2. The development of and new technology for vaccines against emerging and re-emerging swine viruses;
3. The economic impact of emerging and re-emerging swine viruses on global pig production;
4. New aspects of the pathogenesis of emerging and re-emerging swine viruses;
5. Epidemiological studies for emerging and re-emerging swine viruses.
