Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During recent decades, transmissible diseases have caused numerous outbreaks in domestic and wild animals, affecting both animal health and economies worldwide. The prevention and control of many of them have been challenging, especially when multi-host pathogens are involved.
This Special Issue, entitled “Prevention and Control for Animal Transmissible Diseases”, aims to provide a compilation of research articles and reviews that update our knowledge in the scientific literature on both endemic and emerging–re-emerging animal transmissible diseases caused by microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites. More specifically, the main goal of this Special Issue is to group epidemiological studies on surveillance methods and prevention strategies in order to control animal transmissible diseases that face domestic and wild animal populations globally. Also, modeling approaches for the prevention and control of recent and new epidemics are also welcomed within this Special Issue.
