Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions of manuscripts to a Special Issue entitled “Pathology in Poultry Production”.
The production of poultry is vital for global food security; however, the intensification of poultry production has led to an increase in challenging diseases with the potential to threaten animal welfare and public health. A thorough understanding of poultry pathology, including emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, immunology, immunosupression, and diagnostics, is essential for sustainable production. In many cases, histopathology is also crucial for final diagnosis.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile cutting-edge research that advances poultry health through innovative diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic approaches across commercial and backyard production systems.
We welcome original research articles, case studies describing emerging diseases, and reviews on topics including viral diseases, bacterial infections, parasitic diseases, immunopathology, metabolic disorders, neoplastic diseases, and diagnostic innovations.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Michał Gesek
Guest Editor
