Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innate and adaptive immunity protects pigs from viral infections. Understanding how porcine viruses interact with the host’s immune system is fundamental for the development of effective vaccines and anti-viral drugs. In this Special Issue, we will explore the mechanisms relating to how the porcine immune system fights against viral diseases and how viruses compromise and escape from the host immunity.
For the above purpose, we welcome the submission of research articles, review articles, and short communications related to all aspects of interactions between porcine viruses and host immunity, porcine innate and adaptive immunity against viral infection, and the development of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against porcine diseases.
Prof. Dr. Kegong Tian
