Pseudorabies Virus, Third Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the “Pseudorabies Virus” series (see history editions Pseudorabies Virus and Pseudorabies Virus, Volume II), we are editing a 2024 edition of this very popular topic and requesting new submissions.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a herpesvirus of swine, a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily, and the etiological agent of Aujeszky’s disease. PRV is a pathogen of swine that results in devastating disease and economic losses worldwide. Recently, ever-more evidence from the outbreak of PRV variants has indicated that PRV could be transmitted cross-species and potentially infect humans. Therefore, studies focusing on PRV are urgent.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the newest contributions in the field of Pseudorabies virus research, providing new insights into and research on unresolved issues. Evolution, viral replication, virus–host interaction, pathogenesis, and immunity, gene therapy, viral oncotherapy, and novel antiviral strategies are just a selection of the topics relevant to this field, and papers on these subjects can be published in this Special Issue. All researchers working in the field are invited to contribute original research papers or propose reviews for inclusion in this Special Issue of Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/viruses).
