Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Life titled “Spotlight on Veterinary Pathology and Toxicology” is dedicated to the study of animal diseases and their involvement in public health in the context of the concept of One Health and encompasses various aspects of pathology in domestic and wild animals and their involvement in public health, such as the following:
- New challenges for veterinary pathology in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; animals as potential reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2 and for other potential pandemics;
- New challenges for veterinary pathology induced by climate change and the spread of tropical diseases in the northern hemisphere;
- Diseases transmissible from animals to humans and from wild to domestic animals and means of prevention. Animal pandemics having major economic and social impacts: African swine fever, avian influenza, ruminant pest, etc.;
- Diseases caused by industrial toxins, environmental pollution, and mycotoxins (current state of pathogenetic mechanisms, diagnosis, and means of prevention);
- Epidemiology of non-communicable diseases concerning environmental pollution (allergies, cancer, and degenerative diseases);
- Public health concerns related to antibiotic resistance and anti-parasitic resistance of bacteria, molds, and parasites involved in human and animal pathology.
This Special Issue also focuses on new developments in diagnosing and treating animal diseases and preventing their transmission to human beings or involvement in environmental contamination. Original manuscripts covering various aspects of veterinary pathology are requested. Papers reporting new solutions to common problems and new descriptions of lesser-recognized conditions are particularly welcome. In addition, we encourage papers detailing advanced diagnostic techniques, the use of microscopic anatomy in diagnosis, and computer modeling of pathological processes.
