Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Poultry and livestock infectious diseases have caused heavy economic losses in the breeding industry and seriously threaten human health—especially concerning are some zoonotic infectious diseases. In the modern breeding industry, livestock and poultry are highly concentrated and frequently transported, which makes them more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Therefore, veterinary science research in poultry and livestock infectious diseases is increasingly important.
Veterinary infectious disease has a broadly intersecting and close relationship with other disciplines in veterinary science, including animal biochemistry, veterinary epidemiology, veterinary microbiology, veterinary immunology, veterinary pathology, veterinary pharmacology, veterinary diagnostics and veterinary public health. In particular, veterinary epidemiology, veterinary microbiology and immunology are most closely related to veterinary infectious diseases. With the rapid development of modern biotechnology, the relationship between bioengineering and veterinary infectious disease is becoming closer and closer. The theory and technology of veterinary epidemiology, veterinary microbiology, immunology, bioengineering, and other fields should be applied to pathogen diagnosis and immune prevention for animal infectious diseases.
This Special Issue focuses on recent research progress in the important clinical multiple infectious diseases in poultry and livestock, including immunosuppressive diseases, respiratory syndrome diseases, an gastrointestinal diseases. Additionally, the related detection and basic knowledge of physiology, biochemistry and pathogenic mechanisms are of great concern. Additionally, the development of scientific and standardized management models conducive to the healthy breeding of animals is also of great interest to us.
The research subjects of interest for this Special Issue include poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. Furthermore, excellent research results outside of the above research scope are also welcome.
In this Special Issue, the original research articles and reviews are welcome. We encourage all scientists working in these fields to publish their experimental results and conceptual summaries in this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
