Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For a long time, diseases in animals have existed alongside human diseases and seemed only relevant when food-producing species were affected. However, times have changed, and food security is no longer the only concern in the context of veterinary diseases. Factors including the zoonotic potential of several agents, animal welfare, the role of companion animals in modern society, and antimicrobial resistance have not only increased attention to veterinary diseases but have also shaped the field of One Health. Diagnostics have proven to be key in the detection of disease, not only during outbreaks, but also in the context of monitoring and surveillance. The European Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (EAVLD) is a non-profit, independent organization of individual members with the mission of improving veterinary and public health by providing a platform for communication among veterinary laboratory diagnosticians and to promote the highest standards in European veterinary laboratories. In addition to veterinary diseases and their impact on human health, the EAVLD focuses on proficiency testing, quality systems and control, laboratory sample management and information management systems and innovations and new insights in diagnostic technologies.
