Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Morphology and histopathology play a fundamental role in veterinary medicine, providing critical insights into the structural and pathological changes of animal tissues across a broad spectrum of diseases. Ongoing advancements in diagnostic imaging, staining techniques, molecular pathology, and digital pathology have greatly improved the capacity to accurately evaluate tissue alterations. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent developments and applications in veterinary morphological and histopathological research. We welcome original studies, reviews, and case reports that examine structural pathology, comparative pathology, lesion characterization, and the relationships between histopathological findings and clinical outcomes in domestic, wild, or laboratory animals. By presenting cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to advance disease understanding, enhance diagnostic precision, and ultimately improve animal health care in both clinical and research settings. The Guest Editors gratefully acknowledge the valuable assistance of Dr. Lorenzo Riccio (Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, University of Naples Federico II), whose expertise in specializing in clinical pathology and biochemistry has contributed significantly to the success of this Special Issue.
