Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary immunology has traditionally provided solutions for the agricultural sector. However, we believe its most significant potential lies in addressing challenges related to human and environmental health within the framework of the One Health concept.
This Special Issue aims to advance veterinary immunology through a truly transdisciplinary perspective, integrating and articulating related fields to comprehensively tackle health threats at the interface of humans, animals and the environment. We are particularly interested in zoonotic infections and infectious diseases in animals that offer valuable insights for understanding and managing similar conditions in human health.
Our goal is to provide future readers with up-to-date and practical knowledge on immune responses, such as novel vaccines, innovative diagnostic approaches, and emerging antibody-based immunotherapies. This Special Issue highlights the importance of fostering multidisciplinary collaboration in the study of infectious diseases affecting livestock and domestic and wild animals by featuring a selection of cutting-edge research.
We hope this Special Issue serves as a valuable resource for researchers, professional in both public and private sectors, for students and scholarship fellows from universities and related institutions, contributing to the advancement of this vital field.
