Emerging Trends in Veterinary Virology presents some emerging aspects and general principles in the field of veterinary virology. Recently, many exciting discoveries that have, in some cases, conceptually revolutionized our understanding of the topic.
Emerging infectious diseases are causing outbreaks with loss of human and animal lives and may have huge economic and societal impacts. There may be both natural and anthropogenic drivers behind the emergence of viral diseases. Zoonotic diseases are more commonly emerging, and the inborn tendency of RNA viruses to mutate makes these over-represented among the emerging diseases. A thorough understanding of the molecular biology, immunology, and pathogenesis of viruses that cause diseases is necessary for the rationale design of vaccines and diagnostics to control diseases.
About the Editor:
Muhammad Abubakar, a scientist from the National Veterinary Laboratory, Islamabad, Pakistan, has experience of more than 15 years in various fields of veterinary sciences. His main expertise lies in the field of Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) at the national as well as international level. He has worked both in academic and field implementation of disease control programs. He has worked with local and international projects for the establishment of diagnostic laboratories for TADs in the country. He has also conducted various trainings for the field as well as laboratory staff. He has published numerous research papers, review articles, and book chapters on different areas of veterinary sciences, especially on TADs (Avian influenza, FMD, PPR). He is the co-editor of the book “The Role of Biotechnology in Improvement of Livestock” by Springer Publisher, Germany and edited many books with Intech Open Publisher. He is currently working as an editor in chief of two journals in veterinary sciences (Research journal for Veterinary Practitioners and Veterinary Sciences; Research and Reviews).
Jonas Johansson Wensman is a State Veterinarian at the National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala, Sweden, and an Associate Professor in Veterinary Infectious Diseases at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden. He received his PhD in Virology in 2011 with a thesis on born viruses. His research covers diagnostic development, epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, and virus-host interactions of a variety of viruses, mainly those infecting ruminants.
