Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases are a major concern in the modern poultry industry as well as on domestic and free-living avian species since they have a significant impact on health, welfare, performance, and public health (zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance). Several treatments and control choices for nutritional, bacterial, mycotic, and parasitic diseases have lost their efficacy or are not available, while new choices have been suggested. The emergence of multi-resistant pathogens is a significant threat to animal and public health. European Union regulations and consumer demand have led to a need to limit the use of antibiotics in poultry production systems considering the possible implications for the development of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, alternatives to the use of antibiotics, such as acidifying components, natural substances, immunostimulants, and enzymes, have been explored.
This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Poultry and Avian Diseases” is aimed at current achievements and scientific papers focused on, but not limited to, recent advances in commercial poultry and domestic and free-living avian species diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, nutritional imbalance, and/or management faults.
The following types of research are applicable for this Special Issue:
- Etiopathogenesis
- Epizootiology
- Disease experimental models
- Innovative lesion-scoring techniques
- Immune response to diseases
- Innovative vaccination strategies
- Innovative treatment and control approaches
- Innovative diagnostic tools and biomarkers
- New tools for risk analysis to control infectious diseases
- Interesting case reports
