In the realm of avian production, a critical component of global food security and economic stability, the risk and impact of disease challenge are significantly heightened due to large, close confinement rearing systems. These systems, while designed to maximize productivity and improve economies of scale, inadvertently increase the probability of infectious disease spread and the emergence of new poultry disease variants. This has led to substantial economic losses in the poultry industries worldwide, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and others, particularly in China.
The primary aim of this research topic is to collate works from researchers specializing in virology, bacteriology, disease transmission and mechanisms, and diagnostics. The objective is threefold: to understand the current, emerged, re-emerged, and emerging diseases within the poultry industry; to explore diagnostic technologies that could potentially contribute to the development of new diagnostic tools; and to employ new strategies to eradicate potential pathogenic threats to the poultry industry.
The scope of this research topic is confined to recent advances and diagnostics in emerging and re-emerging poultry disease. We invite submissions on a variety of themes, including but not limited to:
- Current and emerging diseases in the poultry industry
- Diagnostic technologies in avian disease detection
- Strategies for disease eradication in poultry
- Economic impact of poultry diseases
- Case studies on disease outbreaks in poultry industries
We welcome original research papers, mini-reviews, short manuscripts, case reports, and comprehensive reviews. This special issue aims to serve as a valuable resource for epidemiologists, veterinarians, and industry organizations.
