New Insights into the Theriogenology of Domestic and Wild Carnivores

Dear Colleagues,

The study of carnivore reproduction has lagged behind that of larger domestic species. Only after the 1980s did domestic dog and cat theriogenology achieve relevance. Although there have been an increasing number of studies since then, many reproductive aspects of these species remain to be unveiled. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles providing an updated overview of the current state of basic and applied knowledge on domestic and wild carnivore theriogenology.

I am pleased to invite you to submit your articles to this Special Issue, “New Insights into the Theriogenology of Domestic and Wild Carnivores”, which will consider research areas (among other relevant topics) such as physiology, pathology, diagnosis methods, therapeutics, infertility, biotechnology and contraception.

Basic or applied original research, clinical trials, case series and reviews (of all types) are welcome.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Cristina Gobello
Guest Editor
