Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The characterization of aquatic pathogens is a very crucial first step for disease control and prevention, but many emerging microbes with pathogenic potential are still not fully understood. In recent years, many modern analytical techniques for the diagnostics and characterization of pathogens have been remarkably advanced. Hence, we are in an era in which previously well-known pathogens are being re-identified and re-characterized, providing a better understanding of the disease as well as new perspectives.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality manuscripts (research articles, case reports, short communication, and reviews) relevant not only to the Diagnostics and Pathological Characterization of aquatic animal pathogens, but also new diagnostic methods and the understanding of host–pathogen interactions. Studies using modern technologies and bioinformatics are warmly welcome, but the scope is not strictly limited to these. We look forward to your important contributions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers).
