Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogens affecting animals have gained significant attention in both the livestock and public health sectors due to their global impact on socio-economics, food safety, food security, and human health. The rise of antibiotic resistance presents a major challenge for public health, and veterinarians often face limited options for antimicrobial treatments due to concerns over resistance and its implications for human health.
Infectious diseases in animals, caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, adversely affect the health and well-being of domestic animals, wildlife, livestock, and humans. This underscores the importance of the One Health approach, which involves comprehensive studies to identify causes or risk factors, implement widely available preventive measures and effective strategies, and assess the impact of these interventions.
This second edition of the Special Issue of Animals aims to present a compilation of articles showcasing the latest advancements in the study of infectious diseases in animals. We invite submissions of original research and review papers from various fields, including the development of rapid screening techniques for bacterial and viral diagnostics (such as custom ELISA tests, biosensors, and oligoprobes) or diagnostic kits for fungal infections. Contributions detailing new and emerging pathogens (involving exposure, adhesion, invasion, infection, and transmission), novel disease prevention methods, and innovative therapies are also highly encouraged.
