Working equids (horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules) remain essential to ensure the livelihood of poor communities around the world. In many developed countries, the equine industry has significant economical weight, with around 7 million horses in Europe alone. The close relationship between humans and equids and the fact that the athlete horse is the terrestrial mammal that travels the most worldwide after humans are important elements to consider in the transmission of pathogens and diseases, amongst equids and to other species. The potential effect of climate change on vector ecology and vector-borne diseases is also of concern for both human and animal health. In this Special Issue, we intend to explore our understanding of a panel of equine viruses, looking at their pathogenicity, their importance in terms of welfare and potential association with diseases, their economic importance and impact on performance, and how their identification can be helped by new technologies and methods.Biology, life sciencesbicsscabortionAfrican horse sicknessAnimal RulearbovirusBorna disease virusbosaviruscDNA cloned virusELISAencephalitisenteric diseaseEqcopivirusEquid alphaherpesvirus 1Equid herpesvirusesequine coronavirusequine hepacivirusequine herpesvirus type 1equine influenzaequine Mx1equine papillomavirusesequine parvovirus Hequine parvovirus-hepatitisequine rhinitis virus Aevolutionfetusesflavivirusgenital wartGermanyhematophagous arthropodhepacivirus Ahepatitishorsehorse parvovirus-CSFhorsesin utero transmissioninfluenza A virusesinsectsinterspecies transmissionIrelandloss of performanceMLSTmosquito-borne virusMxAmyeloencephalopathyn/aneuropathogenic strainnon-primate hepacivirusnucleoproteinORF30ORF33ORF34ORF68outbreakParvoviridaePCRphylogenypolymerase activityrabiesreplicationrespiratory diseaserisk factorssequencingseroprevalencespike S1 proteinstrain selectionThoroughbred racehorsestransmissionvaccinevaccine strategiesVenezuelan equine encephalitis virusviromevirus neutralizationvirus stock propagationvirus structurevirus transmissionWest Nile virusBiology, life sciencesPaillot Romainauth1278506BOOK9910404084803321Equine Viruses3013361UNINA
