Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious transboundary viral disease that causes severe implications not only for the health and production of cloven-hoofed animals including large and small ruminants and pigs, but also for the economy of the FMD endemic countries. In this Special Issue, we will accept papers on all aspects of FMD research. Topics include but are not limited to: viral pathogenesis, virus-host interactions, viral diagnosis and epidemiology, and vaccines/antivirals.
