Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Equine medicine is constantly being updated, as horses, mules and donkeys have an important role in the economy and society. They are employed for competition or recreational purposes, as well as as companions, or, depending on the area of the world, for work or meat production. This Special Issue, the first of a series that will cover all of the equine systems, is dedicated to the liver. The reason for this is the recent emergence of hepatic viral diseases, such as Parvovirus, Equine Hepacivirus, Pegivirus and others, that are not completely studied and understood in terms of their pathogenic role and epidemiology. Nonetheless, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers or reviews concerning an updated overview of hepatic disease and disorder in equids, considering all of the aspects from clinical diagnosis, laboratory findings and therapy to epidemiology, molecular epidemiology and pathological or histopathological features. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to provide practitioners with a valid and updated tool to employ during clinical activities.
We invite you to share your recent findings through this Special Issue.
Dr. Roberto Nardini
Guest Editor
