Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic animal health is a critical pillar of global food security, sustainable aquaculture, and ecosystem stability. This Special Issue invites contributions on cutting-edge research aimed at combating diseases in aquatic species. The rapid expansion of aquaculture to meet the rising protein demand has promoted the emergence of pathogens and environmental stressors that pose significant threats to productivity and biodiversity. We seek high-quality original research and reviews, including innovative diagnostic technologies, surveillance systems, novel vaccine development, immunostimulants, and biosecurity strategies. Emphasis will be placed on genomic and molecular tools for pathogen detection, novel prevention and control measures, and sustainable management practices. Studies exploring host–pathogen interactions, disease-resistant genes identification, the mechanism of host immune defense, and pathogen immune escape are also particularly welcome. By compiling advancements in this field, this Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and translate scientific discovery into practical solutions, ultimately supporting the healthy and high-quality development of the aquaculture industry.
