Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathology is an important approach of studying the occurrence, development, and outcome of diseases, and plays an irreplaceable role in revealing the mechanisms of disease. At present, viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., still have a great impact on the health of domestic animals, especially due to factors such as viral mutation, bacterial resistance, mixed infections, immune failure, and aging, which worsens the health of domestic animals. Diseases are becoming more and more complex, posing a more severe challenge to their diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and control. Elucidating the disease mechanisms of domestic animals using molecular pathology methods will play a great role in maintaining animal health.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect reviews and/or original research articles on the pathogenesis and molecular pathology of epidemics in domestic animals. Submissions can include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New aspects of the pathogenesis of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in domestic animals;
- New findings and insights into domestic animal disease pathology;
- The pathology and pathogenesis of mixed infections in domestic animals;
- The histopathology and molecular pathology diagnosis of difficult cases of domestic animals.
