Food-Borne Pathogens of Animals: Diagnosis, Prevention, Control, and Zoonotic Significance

Dear Colleagues,

As in all fields of science, microbiological research for food safety is evolving rapidly in the 21st century; traditional analytical techniques are increasingly being used together with specific methods from molecular biology and bioinformatics as part of the “One Health” vision. “Big Data” from epidemiological studies and standard analytical techniques provide relevant results on particular innovative organisms or foods when used in a modern and rigorous methodological context, whether assisted by artificial intelligence or not. This Special Issue intends to showcase experimental, observational, and/or systematic/narrative reviews of the literature in the field of food microbiology concerning methodologies or foods of emerging and sustainable interest; in addition, studies that accurately define the prediction, control, and zoonoses of food-borne diseases are welcome.
