Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Important avian viruses that affect the poultry industry or overall avian health are the main focus points of this Special Issue. Common endemic, emerging, immunosuppressive, and zoonotic avian viruses include infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Marek’s disease virus (MDV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), chicken infectious anaemia virus (CIAV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and avian influenza virus (AIV). In addition, common vectored vaccines are based on avian viruses, such as the herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT), NDV, etc., which are effective against pathogenic avian viral infections. Furthermore, this Special Issue focuses on wide areas of research, such as pathogenesis, innate immunity, adaptive immunity, vaccinology, and epidemiology.
