Vol. 41, No. 6 Emerging and re-emerging animal viruses

Guest Editors: Dr Michel Pépin Dr Noël Tordo VetAgroSup-Campus Vétérinaire Institut Pasteur, Paris de Lyon and AFSSA-Lyon, France and Lyon, France

Emergences of viral diseases targeting animal and/or human populations have become more frequent during the last decades. Both concern previously unknown viruses that have suddenly emerged and known viruses that have expanded geographically. The reasons for this increased frequency in occurrence are multifactorial. They combine (i) technical progress such as increased surveillance and improvement of tools for identification; (ii) human factors such as globalization, deforestation, urbanization, rural and exotic tourism, increase of exchanges between humans, animals and goods; and (iii) ecological factors such as climate change whose role remains difficult to assess and which is also impacted by human behavior. While emergences of new viruses remain rather rare in terrestrial vertebrates, they appear more frequent in invertebrates and in aquatic vertebrates which are exposed to numerous unknown viruses present in their environment (water, plants, ...). In this special issue of Veterinary Research, we have selected examples of emerging and/or re- emerging animal viruses targeting various species (arthropods, fish, domestic carnivores, ruminants, horses and pigs) including novel previously unreported emergence.
