Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Biosensor Applications in Agriculture, Aquaculture and Animal Husbandry”, represents an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates biosensors with various advanced technologies. It is motivated by the urgent need for efficient detection and monitoring solutions to address challenges in agricultural sustainability, livestock/aquatic organism health, and agricultural product safety worldwide. Agricultural biosensors integrate the high specificity of biological recognition with rapid signal response, enabling precise detection and real-time monitoring of target analytes in complex matrices. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the design, development, and application of diverse biosensors (e.g., enzyme sensors, immunosensors, electrochemical sensors, and optical biosensors) in agricultural contexts covering aquaculture and animal husbandry. Key application areas encompass livestock disease diagnosis, aquaculture water-quality monitoring, feed safety detection, and agricultural product quality assessment. We welcome high-quality original research papers and comprehensive review articles that showcase the latest breakthroughs, technological innovations, and future trends in this field, highlighting the fusion of biosensors with emerging technologies like nanotechnology and artificial intelligence to address critical agricultural issues of global interest.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
