Veterinary Food Safety and Zoonosis
A section of Veterinary Sciences (ISSN 2306-7381).
Section Information
A zoonosis is any disease or infection caused by the nature transmission of pathogenic germs carried by vertebrate animals to humans. More than half of all known or emerging infectious diseases in human come from animals. The germs can spread to people through different ways, including (in)direct contact, vectors, food, water, etc.
The Section “Veterinary Food Safety and Zoonosis” studies pathogenic bacteria and zoonoses caused by bacteria transmitted from animals to humans and provides new knowledge novel achievements, new techniques, as well as new experiences relevant to prevention, control, and treatment within areas including but not limited to microbiology, virology, parasitology, and epidemiology.
The Section “Veterinary Food Safety and Zoonosis” welcomes contributions that include original research and review papers on any aspect of the sources, transmission, prevention, and control of zoonoses, covering the entire food chain from the point of the primary production to the consumer.
