Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Avian infectious diseases continue to pose significant threats to poultry and public health and food security worldwide. Understanding their epidemiology, improving methods for their detection, and developing effective control strategies are critical for disease prevention and sustainable poultry production.
This Special Issue aims to compile high-quality research and review articles focused on the surveillance, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and control of avian infectious diseases. We hope to provide a platform for advancing scientific knowledge and facilitating global collaboration to improve avian disease control strategies.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, molecular and serological diagnostic techniques, vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance, host–pathogen interactions, biosecurity practices, and One Health perspectives. Submissions that explore emerging avian pathogens or zoonotic transmission are also encouraged.
