Pathogenic microorganism infection has seriously harmed pig health and caused huge economic loss to the pig industry. The epidemic of African swine fever has changed the epidemic situation of swine infectious disease. This Research Topic will focus on genetic diversity and evolution, virus-host interaction and pathogenicity, immunology and host genetic resistance, vaccine, disease prevention, and eradication of viruses, bacteria, parasite and rickettsiella of swine. We encourage the authors to introduce the effects of viruses (such as porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, circovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, African swine fever virus) infection on interferon signaling pathway, inflammatory response, and autophagy of host. Also, it is important to show the influence of virus gene variation on pathogenicity and antigenicity as well as the Research progress of new vaccines. In addition, this article collection seeks new progress in the pathogenesis of haemophilus parasuis and toxoplasmosis, as well as new vaccines.
This Research Topic is to promote the pig health and stimulate discussion on the swine infectious disease. We welcome manuscripts from the following subtopics:
1. The effects of viral infection on interferon signaling pathway, autophagy and inflammatory response in pigs as well as the molecular mechanism of virus antagonize innate immune response in pigs.
2. The prevalence status of major porcine viral diseases and the effect of gene variation on pathogenicity and antigenicity.
3. New progress in the research of novel vaccines for porcine infectious diseases.
