Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary medicine encompasses many seemingly diverse yet interconnected fields. These range from forensic medicine, which focuses on examining injuries resulting from animal cruelty and known or emerging diseases, to investigating neoplasms, as well as studying fish and insect indicators of environmental pollutants. Increasingly sophisticated diagnostic methods can detect, with utmost precision and speed, pathologies in both domestic and wild species, from mammals to fish to insects, based on alterations in organs and systems, from tissues to the cells that constitute them.
Advanced tools are increasingly used to improve the accuracy and expediency of zoonotic disease diagnosis and epidemiology. Intersectoral surveillance entails monitoring animal and human populations, as well as their environments, to identify potential threats and transmission patterns.
This Special Issue includes techniques such as metabolomics, the study of cell culture arrays, scanning electron microscopy, next-generation sequencing, advanced immunohistochemistry techniques, forensic pathology, etc., exemplifying scientific progression for the future of veterinary medicine.
Original contributions and reviews dealing with the above-mentioned topics are welcome.
