Detection, Transmission, and Diagnosis of Animal Viruses: A One Health Approach

Dear Colleagues,

In the present day, rural residents have a plethora of opportunities for advancement that were unavailable in previous decades. A similar phenomenon is observed in the world of viruses. Humans explore and colonize previously unexplored habitats, which also allows for interaction with viral species that have the potential to establish a new and casual infections through this contact.

Whether through travel, tourism, or the domestication of unconventional animals, humans have increased their exposure to numerous viral species with which they had minimal or no prior interaction.

The survey of diverse viral diseases facilitates the comprehension of viral dispersion dynamics and the epidemiology of viruses in this novel environment. This understanding is imperative for the development of effective health management strategies for both animals and humans.
