Avian production is an important component of global food security, local and international trade, and agricultural economies. These large, close confinement rearing systems, which are designed to improve economies of scale and maximize productivity, also increase the risk and impact of disease challenge. The chance and rate of infectious disease spread and the probability of the emergence of emerging and re-emerging poultry disease variants have increased, causing substantial economic loss in China and worldwide, including in chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and other poultry industries.
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide works from researchers with scientific expertise in virology, bacteriology, disease transmission and mechanisms, and diagnostics who share a common desire to (1) understand the current, emerged and re-emerged, and emerging diseases within the poultry industry; (2) use diagnostic technologies that can possibly contribute to new diagnostic tools; and (3) utilize new approaches to eradicate potential pathogenic threats to the poultry industry.
The authors are encouraged to submit original research papers, mini-reviews, short manuscripts or case reports of recent advances and diagnostics in emerging and re-emerging poultry disease as well as comprehensive reviews. We hope this special issue will be useful to epidemiologists, veterinarians, and industry organizations.
Keywords:
avian diseases, duck diseases, goose diseases, pigeon diseases, emerging disease, diagnostics, mechanisms, infectious diseases, bacteriological disease
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
