Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights the critical role of veterinary epidemiology in advancing the One Health framework, with a particular focus on data-driven surveillance and risk assessment in infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It examines the complex interactions among animal, human, and environmental health. By emphasizing innovative approaches that integrate multi-source data, genomics, bioinformatics, and quantitative risk assessment, this Special Issue underscores the need for coordinated strategies in disease prevention and control.
We welcome contributions across a broad range of topics, including epidemiological studies on zoonotic diseases, AMR in human and animal populations within a One Health framework, surveillance systems, pathogen genomics, food safety, wastewater monitoring, and the development of novel strategies to mitigate public health threats. Collectively, these papers will provide a comprehensive understanding of the veterinary sector’s vital contributions to global health security and the prevention of infectious disease transmission.
