Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin lesions in companion animals are common, promptly visualized by pet owners, and often cause pruritus, diminishing the quality of life of owners. Therefore, animals with dermatological problems present the majority of visits to general practitioners. Diagnosing and treating skin diseases has faced many changes in the last decade and will continue doing so. One example is the new class of drug for flea and tick prevention known as isoxazolines, which is highly effective against ectoparasites, with demodicosis and sarcoptes cases decreasing. Not so new challenges of antimicrobial resistance are still spreading; however, resistance patterns have changed from “only” methicillin-resistant to multi-drug resistant staphylococcus pseudintermedius in many parts of the world. Additionally, the pandemic has changed the way we provide care utilizing telemedicine for patients.
This Special Issue aims to review and present the state-of-the-art of diagnosis and treatment for dermatological diseases but will also feature articles and reviews about new approaches for diagnosing skin diseases and new treatment options, including alternative approaches to combat bacterial infections in dogs, cats, and horses.
The Special Issue will select submissions on the following subjects:
- Characterization of disease pathways of skin diseases;
- Antimicrobial resistance: change in resistance patterns and alternative treatment options for bacterial infections;
- Feline dermatology;
- Equine dermatology;
- New technologies for detection, diagnosis, and treatment of skin diseases;
- Telemedicine in dermatology.
