Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Swine influenza is a highly contagious viral disease in pigs that result in significant economic losses for swine industry worldwide. Swine influenza is characterized by coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, elevated rectal temperatures, lethargy, difficult breathing and depressed appetite. As pigs are susceptible to both human and avian influenza viruses, they have been proposed to be intermediate hosts or mixing vessels for the generation of pandemic influenza viruses through reassortment. Most notably, several human infection cases of Eurasian Avian-Like (EA) H1N1 swine influenza A virus (IAV) or its reassortant viruses have been reported in Europe and China. These events suggested the zoonotic potential for the EA H1N1 swine IAV and its reassortant viruses. Therefore, it is of great importance to carry out the relevant research studies on epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis and vaccine for swine IAV.
This Special Issue is dedicated to studies covering the new research developments for swine IAVs in pigs, with the epidemiology, diagnosis, molecular pathogenesis, prevention and control of the disease. Experimental studies, case reports and review papers are all welcome.
