Diagnostics and Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases in Veterinary Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is proposed in collaboration with Microorganisms and Microbiology Research and focuses on the theme: Diagnostic innovations and molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases in Veterinary Medicine.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advancements in the detection, molecular characterisation, and epidemiological investigation of infectious diseases affecting domestic and companion animals. As veterinary medicine continues to face complex challenges, such as the rise of zoonotic pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging infectious threats, innovative diagnostic solutions and reliable epidemiological insights are becoming increasingly critical.

The Special Issue will welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that contribute to the understanding, development, or application of diagnostic and molecular approaches relevant to bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens in veterinary contexts. While particular encouragement will be given to submissions focusing on the development and evaluation of rapid, cost-effective, and field-deployable point-of-care diagnostic tests, the scope will remain broad, covering molecular typing, disease surveillance, improvements in sample processing, and other diagnostic innovations.

This initiative also aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge among professionals and researchers working in veterinary microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and sharing of practical and scientific advancements, the Special Issue seeks to support progress in both animal health and broader public health contexts.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Microorganisms.

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. Microbiology Research 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 1800 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.
