About this Research Topic
Swine production is a significant contributor to the global food system, but it faces considerable threats from a range of pathogenic swine diseases. These diseases, including African swine fever and porcine epidemic diarrhea, can severely impact pig health, welfare, productivity, and the overall sustainability of swine industries. As the swine industry continues to expand globally, effectively detecting, diagnosing, and eradicating swine diseases remains a high research priority.
This Research Topic seeks to present a global perspective on prevalent swine diseases considering effective methods of detection, diagnosis, and eradication efforts. The main problems to address include advancing diagnostic strategies, improving the understanding of disease epidemiology, and effective disease eradication programs. The goal is to synthesize detailed understanding and scientific evidence regarding significant swine diseases, thereby informing policy and practice and contributing to the improved health and sustainability of the swine industry worldwide.
Scope of this Research Topic:
- Epidemiology and surveillance of swine diseases across different regions
- One Health approaches to understanding and controlling swine diseases
- Socioeconomic impacts and implications of swine diseases on the swine industry and communities
- Global initiatives and collaborative efforts for swine disease prevention and control
- Challenges and opportunities for eradicating swine diseases at regional and global scales
- Case studies showcasing successful disease eradication or control programs
