Coronaviruses (CoV) are responsible for a large number of respiratory, digestive, and nervous infections in humans, livestock, birds, bat, mouse, and many other wild animals. The outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) indicated the potential for transmission of newly emerging CoVs from animal to human and human to human. Thus, it is important to enhance the research on coronavirus. Swine coronavirus included porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV), which seriously affected the breeding industry. It has been reported recently the porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV) and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), which has a possible interspecies transmission. Thus, the new swine coronavirus is a serious threat to both livestock and public health.
In this Research Topic, we will focus on recent research progress of newly isolated or recombined viruses, and finding new swine coronavirus. We are also interested in studies on genome analysis of swine coronavirus, pathogen-host interactions, pathogenesis, innate immune response, and new strategies for prevention of the swine coronavirus. We welcome submissions of original research, reviews, and mini-reviews from the following subtopics:
- Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
- Transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus
- Porcine deltacoronavirus
- Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus
- New strategies for prophylaxis or control
- Pathogenesis mechanism
