Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health Approach acknowledges that human health relates to the health of animals and the shared environment. It is an extension of the One Medicine concept aimed to recognise the relationship between human and animal genomes to prevent disease efficiently and to understand the cause, mechanism, and transmission routes of the diseases. The One Health Approach supports interdisciplinary approaches to address complex health issues and achieve the best health for humans, animals, and the environment; it also discusses how we all impact each other.
Microalgae and cyanobacteria are some of the most important components of the ecosystem. This Special Issue aims to discuss and compile the topics on the contribution of microalgae and cyanobacteria to the One Health Approach as food products for humans and animals, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, a new approach to agricultural production, wastewater treatments, climate change mitigation (CO2 and flue gas sequestration and biofuel production), and rehabilitation of mine sites and barren land. It also covers the concept of the association of harmful algal bloom with illness or death among livestock, river and pond fish, and its impact on human health.
This Special Issue invites researchers from academic institutions and industry to contribute research articles, reviews, reports, short communications, field studies, and new hypotheses based on metanalyses and original observations for better healthcare and a sustainable environment.
Dr. Sufia Hena
