Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One Health is an integrated and unifying approach that enhances the collaboration between humans, animals, and ecosystem health sectors to address the full spectrum of related issues, including but not limited to: infectious disease diagnosis, surveillance, prevention, and control; antimicrobial resistance; food safety; and environmental health. In the One Health domain, microbiomes play a crucial role.
As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I am pleased to invite you to submit original research articles, experiences, or reviews on the recent advances of microbiome research in One Health and their potential applications to improve human health. Including but not limited to:
The human microbiome: the collection explores the role of the human microbiome in health and disease, including the gut, skin, oral, and vaginal microbiota, and their impact on metabolic disorders, immune responses, and reproductive health.
The animal microbiome: it delves into the microbiomes of animals, highlighting their influence on livestock production, wildlife conservation, and the transmission of zoonotic diseases.
The environmental microbiome: the Special Issue examines the role of environmental and soil microbiomes in ecosystem health, substance cycling, and their interplay with human and animal health.
The One Health microbiome model: articles within this issue discuss the One Health microbiome model, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to maintaining a healthy ecosystem and the potential for novel microbiome-based interventions.
