Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term zoonotic pathogens includes bacterial, viral and parasitic infectious agents that can spread to humans through any contact point with companion, livestock, domestic or wild animals. All of the above pathogens carry genes that affect their toxicity and resistance to antimicrobial agents; the transfer of genetic information between different species of pathogens leads to the emergence of the antimicrobial resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance in the last two decades has become a global threat to public health systems that does not recognize barriers and can spread from animals to people and the environment and vice versa.
This Special Issue aims to provide you with an overview of the latest epidemiological data on zoonoses. It is addressed to scientists, researchers and professionals working in fields related to these diseases.
