Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are very glad that the first edition of this Special Issue received a good response, and we are pleased to announce a second Special Issue on the same topic. Gastrointestinal diseases in horses are prevalent, and they are one of the main focuses of equine practice both in hospital and ambulatory settings. In the last few years, many papers have been published on new, minimally invasive techniques for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases in horses.
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers focusing on new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in gastroenterology, in both adult horses and foals.
This Special Issue aims to provide up-to-date information about diagnostic techniques in equine gastroenterology, focusing on the improvement of old procedures and the implementation of innovative methods for diagnosing infectious and non-infectious diseases. Furthermore, novel treatment modalities and drugs could be proposed in order to enhance the outcome of gastrointestinal diseases in equids.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: gastric diseases, infectious diseases in adults and foals, inflammatory bowel disease and correlated illnesses, parasitology, pharmacology, and genomics and genetics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
