Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal herpesviruses cause severe diseases with important economic losses beyond the influence of animal health and epidemiologic status. The Herpesviridae is a large virus family with a growing number of identified species, which generally show a long-standing co-evolution of the respective viruses with their hosts as a spectacular evolutionary success.
During the past two decades, many herpesviruses have been identified in various hosts worldwide by genetic approaches, efforts to generate mutant herpesviruses for investigating and assigning gene functions of herpesviruses in replication and pathogenesis have been made, and questions about the zoonotic potential of herpesviruses have been raised based on the residual potential to cross host species barriers and to adapt to new hosts considering the OneHealth aspects.
This Special Issue aims to report new progress in animal herpesvirus studies, including the viral evolution, genetic pathways, spread, pathogenesis, treatment, immune aspects, host x virus interaction, new approaches and techniques, diagnosis, surveillance, and zoonotic potential of newly discovered and known herpesviruses in different hosts.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
