Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal infectious disease, which is caused by pathogenic microorganisms, can lead to major economic losses in the animal raising industry, especially in the porcine and poultry industry. There are many animal infectious diseases with high morbidity, including viral infectious diseases such as African swine fever (ASF), porcine pseudorabies, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), porcine parvovirus disease (PPD), porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), Newcastle disease (ND), avian influenza (AI), infectious bronchitis (IB), infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), Marek’s disease (MD), infectious bursal disease (IBD), avian leukosis, etc.; as well as bacterial infectious diseases such as colibacillosis, salmonellosis, pasteurellosis, streptococcosis, etc. Animal infectious diseases may not only cause animal infection and death, but some zoonotic diseases also introduce serious threats to human health. Currently, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose a new challenge for veterinarians and researchers. However, the epidemic patterns, pathogenesis, and immune regulation mechanism of many animal infectious diseases have not been thoroughly clarified. Therefore, this Special Issue on the “Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Immune Mechanism of Animal Infectious Disease” welcomes all types of manuscripts (e.g., reviews, research articles, and short communications), covering the latest findings regarding animal infectious diseases and providing novel knowledge in this research area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Epidemiology
- Pathogenic mechanisms of veterinary pathogens
- Immune regulation mechanisms of veterinary pathogens
- Zoonosis
