Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porcine viral diseases have posed a huge economic loss to the swine industry in China. Many important porcine viral pathogens, including African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), have undergone genetic variations to escape host immunity.
The aim of this Special Issue is to offer a dedicated opportunity for collecting the newest contributions in the field of porcine viral pathogens which have undergone mutations, providing new insights and addressing research on unresolved issues. Porcine virus evolution, mutation and recombination, pathogenicity to pigs, escape from host immunity, and the efficacy of vaccines are just selection of topics relevant to research in the field, which can be contributed to this Special Issue. All researchers working in the field are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or propose reviews to this Special Issue of Viruses.
