Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Emerging Infectious Diseases and Their Impact on Animal Health", delves into the complex interplay between emerging pathogens and their effects on animal populations. The spread of these diseases not only threatens biodiversity, but also has significant implications for human health, as many of these pathogens have the potential to spill over into human populations. This Special Issue highlights the importance of monitoring and controlling the spread of diseases in animal reservoirs to prevent pandemics and protect public health.
In this Special Issue, experts discuss various emerging infectious diseases, their epidemiology, and the strategies for mitigating their impact on animal health. The articles proposed for this Special issue should cover a range of topics, including the role of wildlife in disease emergence, the impact of climate change on the development of diseases, and the importance of the One Health approach in combating zoonotic diseases. The collection also emphasizes the need for improved surveillance systems, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the development of advanced diagnostic tools to detect and control emerging pathogens rapidly.
