Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases of animals are a well-known threat to animal health and economics. Furthermore, if these diseases were zoonotic, they could also have great consequences for public health. Moreover, their impact cannot be neglected concerning infection in wild species, which can act as potential reservoirs and carriers, and whose mortality rates could have negative implications for biodiversity. The relevance of infectious diseases in animals has been highlighted by several scenarios such as the pandemic caused by Sars-CoV2 or the continuous global spread of African swine fever virus. Therefore, this Special Issue will provide new insights into infectious diseases in animals including both farm and wild species. In addition, special attention will be paid to studies focusing on increasing our knowledge through surveillance activities on animal health.
