Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on Veterinary Infectious Diseases aims to showcase the latest advancements in the study, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases affecting animals. Focusing on emerging pathogens, zoonotic diseases, and innovative diagnostic tools, this Issue will bring together cutting-edge research that contributes to both animal health and public health. The scope will include studies on pathogen transmission, immune response mechanisms, novel vaccine strategies, and antiviral treatments. Contributions that explore the relationship between veterinary and human health, particularly in the context of zoonotic infections, are highly encouraged. By publishing comprehensive research and reviews, this Special Issue seeks to foster knowledge exchange and provide insights into novel approaches for controlling and preventing animal infections. The research presented here will be a valuable resource for scientists, clinicians, and policymakers working to improve veterinary medicine and animal disease management.
