Veterinary Microbial Infectious Diseases in the One Health Era: Pathogenesis, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Innovative Control Strategies in Zoonoses

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of One Health, veterinary microbial infectious diseases are increasingly being recognized as critical drivers of zoonotic outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance and as threats to animal production and public health. This Special Issue, “Veterinary Microbial Infectious Diseases in the One Health Era: Pathogenesis, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Innovative Control Strategies in Zoonoses”, will highlight cutting-edge research on microbial pathogens affecting livestock, companion animals, and wildlife and their potential spillover to humans. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies addressing pathogenesis, molecular epidemiology, and host–pathogen interactions in veterinary pathogens. We particularly encourage studies on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, novel diagnostics, vaccines, and innovative disease control strategies, such as precision livestock management, microbiome modulation, and genomic surveillance. By integrating veterinary science into One Health approaches, this Special Issue will advance our understanding of emerging microbial threats, promote evidence-based interventions, and support sustainable animal health and food security on a global scale.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
