Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue dedicated to the critical role of poultry in supporting our growing population. As the landscape of poultry diseases and pathogens is not stable, due to rapidly evolving management practices, regulatory changes, and environmental influences, it is crucial that we address these challenges through innovative research.
This Special Issue will explore the intricate biology of pathogens and diseases affecting poultry, with a focus on their mechanisms of infection, transmission dynamics, and interaction with hosts. In addition, we also invite papers that explore innovative management strategies for controlling and preventing poultry diseases, novel vaccination approaches, biosecurity measures to mitigate disease risks, pathogen characterization studies, and case studies showcasing successful interventions in poultry health management.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this important Special Issue.
Dr. Surya Paudel
Guest Editor
