Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary pathology is a constantly evolving discipline that plays a pivotal role across multiple domains of animal and public health. Its practical applications span a wide range of fields, including clinical diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, therapeutic development and monitoring, public health and preventive medicine, veterinary forensic pathology, translational biomedical research, disease surveillance and herd health management, and education and professional training.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality contributions that reflect the latest scientific advances in veterinary pathology and its subdisciplines. Emphasis will be placed on studies that offer innovative insights into disease mechanisms, biomarker identification, histopathology, molecular and digital diagnostics, and other approaches with diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic relevance. Contributions addressing the expanding field of veterinary forensic pathology are also welcome, particularly those aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy in postmortem examinations, refining the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI), and advancing methodological approaches applicable in medico-legal contexts.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and recent findings, this Special Issue aims to advance current knowledge in veterinary pathology through original research articles, case series, and reviews.
