Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) emphasizes the importance of the investigation of sea turtles. In recent years, increased efforts from veterinary researchers have been devoted to the conservation of sea turtles, sometimes from a multidisciplinary approach, contributing to significant advances in their medical management. In addition, many veterinary surgeons are currently involved in sea turtle conservation in wildlife rehabilitation hospitals around the world.
In this Special Issue of Animals (a Q1 Veterinary Sciences journal, 2019 Impact Factor 2.323), we aim to gather high-quality papers addressing different areas within veterinary sciences that contribute to the conservation of sea turtles. Researchers working in anatomy, physiology, surgery, internal medicine, clinical pathology, pathology, parasitology, microbiology and infectious diseases, pharmacology, and toxicology (exclusively research on the effects of environmental pollutants on sea turtles) are welcome to contribute in-depth reviews, original full articles, and unique case reports.
Dr. Jorge Orós
Guest Editor
