Advances in diagnostic tools are pivotal for early disease control. Cao et al. (2024) present a CRISPR/Cas12a-based assay integrated with enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) for ASFV detection, achieving a sensitivity of 10 copies per reaction. This method offers a portable, field-deployable solution, crucial for resource-limited settings. Song et al. (2024) further demonstrate the utility of recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) combined with lateral flow dipsticks for Senecavirus A, enabling visual detection within 17 minutes. These studies exemplify the potential of isothermal amplification technologies to revolutionize point-ofcare diagnostics.Vaccines remain the cornerstone of swine disease prevention. Chen et al. ( 2024) review the promise of multi-epitope vaccines, leveraging immunoinformatics to design constructs targeting conserved regions of variable pathogens like ASFV and PRRSV. Xie et al. (2024) extend this concept by evaluating recombinant adenovirus vaccines expressing GP3 and GP5 proteins of NADC34-like PRRSV, demonstrating robust humoral and cellular immune responses in pigs. These findings highlight the importance of subunit vaccines and adjuvant strategies in combating antigenically diverse viruses.The identification of novel antiviral compounds is equally critical. Li et al. ( 2025) explore chebulinic acid's dual inhibitory effects on PEDV entry and viral main protease, offering a natural product-based therapeutic candidate. This work underscores the potential of phytochemicals in combating coronaviruses, aligning with global efforts to discover sustainable antiviral agents. This Research Topic serves as a testament to the interdisciplinary nature of swine disease research. By bringing together insights from virology, immunology, and epidemiology, it paves the way for a more resilient swine industry. We extend our gratitude to all authors and reviewers for their contributions, which collectively strengthen our capacity to tackle these pressing challenges.
