Veterinary DNA viruses

Section Editor: Gerlinde Van de Walle, Cornell University, USA 
Deputy Section Editor: Walid Azab, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

The Veterinary DNA viruses section of Virology Journal covers research on DNA viruses of non-human animals, including food, companion, and wild animal species. Both reviews and original research papers on viral structure, function and genetics will be considered as well as articles focusing on viral pathogenesis, virus-host interactions, vaccines, and antiviral therapeutics.
