Emerging Infectious Disease: Viral Enteric Pathogens with Zoonosis Potential in Domestic and Wild Animals

Dear Colleagues, 

It is estimated that, globally, about one billion cases of illness and millions of deaths occur every year from zoonoses. About 60% of emerging infectious diseases that are reported globally are zoonoses. Over 30 new human pathogens have been detected in the last three decades, 75% of which have originated in animals. In the last few years, much progress has been achieved in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in wildlife, but additional information and studies are necessary to improve the identification and characterization of old and new pathogens in wild species, including zoonotic agents. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research work or reviews on these topics in order to give an effective improvement of the current knowledge with a One Health approach of infectious diseases.
