Introduction of Special Edition

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Infection in Pig: Current Perspective

Dear Reader,

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a typically re-emerging epizootic swine virus. This virus was initially identified in Europe in the 1970s, and then spread to several major swine-producing areas of the world causing significant economic losses. About twenty years later, the PEDV incidence started becoming quiet following which it took a sporadic form in some countries with not as much of significance as before. Suddenly in 2013, PEDV emerged in the US and rapidly spread across the North American and Asian countries causing a disaster for the swine industry worldwide. Until now, 4 years have passed from the start of this latest epidemic. It is worth investigating what the current status of PEDV is worldwide. Does the incidence of PEDV maintains stability or becomes “quiet” again, or does it get worse? What could possibly be our new insights in PEDV?

In this special edition, research scientists and veterinary professionals are welcome to present their opinion on PEDV. Review, commentary, original research, short communication and clinical case reports are encouraged for submission to this special edition to help contribute towards our understanding of the global scenario of the PEDV status.

Introduction of Special Edition

Ultrasonography and laparoscopy as state of the art diagnostic tools in veterinary science

Dear Reader,

The special edition on “Ultrasonography and laparoscopy as state of the art diagnostic tool in veterinary science” for Veterinary Medicine- Open Journal (VMOJ) is an effort to bring into light the importance of ultrasonography and laparoscopy as the most recently emerging diagnostic tools in investigating various aspects of veterinary science like reproduction, medicine, surgery etc. Ultrasonography has been applied as an important non-invasive diagnostic tool in veterinary science and has been found to be very helpful even in performing differential diagnosis besides providing supplementary evidence in diagnosing different conditions. Similarly, laparoscopy is an important diagnostic tool in human medicine and has wider applications. Although, laparoscopy is commonly implemented in equines but its application in bovines and other small animals is meagre. This special edition will serve as an opportunity to highlight on the importance of ultrasonography and laparoscopy in veterinary science. I am delighted to invite professionals with an expertise in veterinary science to submit their valuable manuscripts for this Special Edition including research articles, review articles, short communications etc.
