Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases have been a major public health concern throughout human history, causing regional outbreaks and global pandemics, and have reshaped societies. Infectious diseases often result from interactions among humans, animals, and the environment. Globalization has made infectious diseases a global concern, requiring international cooperation in surveillance, research, and response.
The One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness of these factors and emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration. Despite the great advancements achieved in medical sciences, infectious diseases continue to pose significant challenges to public health worldwide. Their impact on global morbidity and mortality underscores the urgency of developing and implementing effective prevention, surveillance, and control strategies. Infectious disease outbreaks demand a rapid and coordinated response to prevent further spread and mitigate their impact. Public health strategies are paramount in mitigating the burden of infectious diseases. Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions against infectious diseases.
I would like to invite the global science community to submit articles to this Special Issue. We will provide you with a fast peer-review process to ensure the timely publication of your articles.
Prof. Dr. Sultan Ayoub Meo
Guest Editor
