Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Disease, especially infectious disease, is one of the determinants of stability of swine production worldwide. Although a number of strategies have been developed for the prevention and control of swine infectious diseases, they are not yet enough for the complex situations that include a variety of pathogens, different virulence strains for one pathogen, different serotype strains for one pathogen, and so on. Epidemiological studies have provided novel information about infectious disease characteristics. Progress in regard to detection methods has benefited clinical studies of swine. Furthermore, progress in vaccine development has seen an improvement, according to epidemiological data.
This Special Issue of Veterinary Sciences welcomes original research and review articles, aiming to provide an overview of advances in the prevention and control of infectious swine diseases. In this Special Issue, research will focus on epidemiological studies in swine farms, progress in regard to the detection methods for different swine pathogens, and progress in vaccine development. Genomic analyses of different pathogens, characteristic of novel antigens, as well as the effects of novel adjuvants, will also be included in this Special Issue. Additionally, other research areas related to the prevention and control of swine disease are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
