Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human health is intrinsically linked to the health of domestic and wild animals. Imbalances in the relationship between humans and animals have tragic consequences, such as the emergence of epidemics, endemics, and pandemics. Around 70% of the diseases that affect humans involve animals as the vectors, hosts, and causes of health problems. COVID-19, monkeypox, rabies, SARS, and influenza are recent examples of worrying and fatal diseases for humans in which animals are involved.
Veterinary public health services form indispensable support for the balance between human, animal, and environmental health. Virtually all professional actions by veterinarians have a public health connection. The veterinarian's action goes far beyond the prevention and elimination of zoonosis. Veterinary public health encompasses areas such as diagnosis, epidemiology, surveillance, biomedical research, health education, production, and control of food, vaccines, veterinary equipment, and products. Veterinarians are ensuring the health of the human population by taking care of animals, preventing zoonosis and food contamination, and keeping the environment healthy.
There have been numerous advances in the knowledge and methods for veterinary public health in recent decades. The production of knowledge in public health continues to grow due to global transformations in all areas of human activity. Veterinary Sciences is thus launching this Special Issue “Advances in Veterinary Public Health” to provide researchers with the opportunity for their high-quality and high-impact research articles to benefit from high visibility. Following an editorial line committed to quality and originality, we are open to submissions of manuscripts for this Special Issue, which will increase our knowledge in the area of veterinary public health.
Sincerely
Dr. Vanner Boere
Guest Editor
