Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, the importance of advancing veterinary pharmacology to meet evolving challenges in animal health has become paramount. The complex interplay between genetics, environmental factors, and physiological variation requires a nuanced approach to drug development and administration in veterinary medicine. As our responsibility for animal welfare grows, so too must our commitment to refining and expanding the pharmacological tools at our disposal. The development of novel drugs, the optimization of dosing regimens, and the exploration of targeted therapies are critical elements for safeguarding the health and welfare of animals worldwide. In addition, veterinary pharmacology contributes to the concept of One Health, which recognizes the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health. By improving our understanding of how medicines interact with different species, we not only improve the care of animals, but also contribute to wider public health initiatives and the ecological balance.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research that advances the field of veterinary pharmacology, and will be focused on recent research or reviews that explore novel approaches, breakthroughs, and advances that contribute to the development of improved treatment modalities for various animal pathologies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, and research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Research of novel compounds and therapeutic agents tailored to specific animal pathologies;
- Studies of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of veterinary drugs and their dynamic interactions in different species;
- Investigation of the pharmacological requirements and responses of different species to optimize treatment outcomes;
- Research to refine dosing regimens to improve the efficacy and safety of veterinary medicines and to minimize adverse effects;
- Advances in the development and application of targeted therapies, taking into account individual differences in animals;
- The interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health, in line with the One Health framework.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
