Ecology and Treatment of Parasitic Diseases in Aquatic Species

Dear Colleagues,

The spread of parasitic and infectious diseases has resulted in significant economic losses for aquaculture globally. Additionally, the introduction of parasites into new environments has led to ecological and economic repercussions. These circumstances present both challenges and opportunities for pathogen control, which is crucial for minimizing negative impacts on large-scale production and supply. Consequently, developing new approaches and technological strategies for disease control is essential.

This Special Issue seeks to provide a contemporary overview of the current research, developmental studies, and applications related to the treatment of pathogens in both freshwater and marine organisms, both wild and in culture, with special emphasis on nanotechnological approaches. Additionally, we encourage the submission of studies on eco-friendly and natural therapeutic strategies for disease control and treatment.
