State-of-the-Art Animal Virus Research in Poland

Dear Colleagues,

Poland, a large country in the middle of Europe, has a very interesting history and a variety of landscapes and ecosystems. Thanks to these features, Poland has intensive animal production and trade, and this industrial focus has been accompanied by extensive research in animal virology. The eradication of several animal diseases in the last decades is a great success, but as we have experienced this year, nature is unpredictable. Poland, like other countries, struggles with several emerging and re-emerging viruses in the field of animal health. Currently, new technologies and concepts allow multifactorial analyses of pathogen biology and interaction with the host, providing novel insights into pathogenesis and causality which may lead to new prevention or treatment strategies.

In this Special Issue, we will focus on the recent research on the animal viruses weakening the animal industry in Poland. In this way, we also wish to promote first-rate Polish veterinary virology research. Thus we cordially invite Polish scientists to contribute their original studies, communications or review articles focused on the following topics:

• Epidemiology
• Pathogenesis
• Diagnostics
• (Immuno)pathology
• Molecular aspects
• Omics and metabolomics aspects
• Virus evolution
• Virus–host interactions
• Prophylaxis and prevention
• Zoonotic potential
