Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Veterinary Sciences on Veterinary Pathology in Wildlife Disease, with a special focus on One Health. For this Special Issue, we welcome original research, review articles, short communications, and case reports on wildlife diseases that have a focus on anatomical and/or clinical pathology, (re)emerging diseases, and most of all One Health.
Wildlife infectious disease investigation plays an important role in closing the notable gap in knowledge of the complex and multilayered systems that lead to (re)emergence of health threats to human, animal populations, the ecosystem as a whole, as well as conservation of endangered species. Identification of etiological agents and understanding the wildlife role as reservoirs for a range of emerging, pathogenic diseases, of which 70% are estimated to be zoonotic, is key to mitigating such threats. In this context, veterinary pathologists working closely with inter- and transdisciplinary teams are in a strategic position to drive disease-monitoring studies, recognition of (re)-emerging agents and pathogen discovery investigations. Their work underpins many aspects of both One Health and conservation efforts, and this issue is dedicated to celebrating and furthering such scientific commitments.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: veterinary clinical and anatomic pathology, epidemiology, virology, microbiology, toxicology, parasitology and population genetics/epigenetics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
